The world is facing twin revolutions: in geopolitics and in emerging technology. This is a pivotal moment for the UK as it navigates both.
The AI race is between laboratories as they race to the frontier, between countries as they race to diffuse the technology across their economies, and between the two technology superpowers, the US and China, whose rivalry shapes the trajectory both of the technology and its use by the rest of the world. The UK faces a pivotal moment in carving out a strategic position, shaping emerging governance norms and maintaining influence over the systems underpinning tomorrow’s economies and security environments.
At this Chatham House event, Kanishka Narayan MP, UK Minister for AI and Online Safety, will reflect on the global AI summit in Delhi last month, assess the viable paths forward for countries like the UK in navigating the technology transition, and outline the diplomatic balancing act required to navigate competing spheres of technological influence.
