London’s push for AI sovereignty

London’s push for AI sovereignty

The tech industry is having a renaissance in London. It's home to the main foreign outposts for giants such as Google and Meta, as well as their well-funded AI challengers including OpenAI and Anthropic. But all those companies are American. Now there's a push to launch a homegrown competitor so the UK can have more sovereignty over its tech.
