Business and Trade Committee House of Commons

Order. Order. Welcome to the first panel of the Business and Trade Select Committee, investigating AI business and the future workforce. The Frontier AI race is essentially the global competition to build and control the most advanced AI systems, but it's not just about those models. And we know that we are looking across compute data talent and investment to make those systems possible.
The two dominant players are probably The United States and China, with The US widely seen as the leader driven by major tech companies and deep pools of investment. The United Kingdom, while it doesn't have the same scale of resources, has real strengths in research, AI safety, and applied artificial intelligence. The government has recently announced growth zones, targeted support for AI companies through the British Business Bank. And as part of its AI opportunities action plan, the government has established a sovereign AI unit to target AI deployment, and its development. Could I welcome the panel and ask them to briefly introduce themselves?
