Powering AI for Everyone: The UK’s Blueprint for Clean, Equitable Innovation

In this special episode of Tech Talks, David Savage sits down with Feryal Clark, Minister for AI and Digital Government, to explore the UK government's AI Energy Council—its goals, challenges, and why the national strategy must centre both sustainability and inclusion. As AI continues to demand more power and shape the global economy, how does the UK ensure all communities—not just London—reap the rewards?

Minister Clark discusses why local collaboration, energy efficiency, and real-world outcomes are vital for national success, and invites digital leaders to contribute to the plan through R&D and sustainability.
