And actually, Tony Blair touched on this in his essay last week or whenever it was.

Focus on deployment and adoption of AI.

The physics of AI is very, very expensive.

It's expensive in energy, water, capital.

Compute capacity infrastructure you need scale and what we are just too small on our own It's as simple as that if you want to compete with China and America over the next decade We have to find a way without reopening the brexit debates of 2016 to create a tech Single market, but you're right, but you're absolutely right about that.

My increasing fear is it might only happen after a major fiscal crisis.
