The Rest Is Money · 300. Does Burnham get AI? · 29 Jul 2026 podcast

And, you know, we're talking businesses in the AI arena who say it's really impossible to cut through the system and be taken seriously against the American businesses or these other businesses that...

are not putting money in the economy in the UK.

So do you think that is genuinely going to change then?

So can I ask, because we talk to entrepreneurs a lot and, you know, sometimes they're saying they don't feel like, you know, welcome in the UK.

There's not the financing there or the support that they need to keep them there.

Do you think that's fair that they're not as welcome here as they once were?

Matt, there's still a lot to get into on all of this AI policy stuff, but sit tight for a couple of minutes while we go through a quick break.

This episode is brought to you by Accenture.

Now, when your advertising operations fall out of sync, campaigns slow down, insights get buried and opportunities get missed.

That's why Spotify and Accenture are working together to reinvent the rhythm of ad sales using automation, analytics and smarter workflows to simplify campaign delivery and access better data across the business.

The result, less time spent on operations, more time connecting brands with the moments and fandoms that matter most.

Can I ask you, Matt, a bit about the kind of infrastructure side around AI?

Because that's part of the problem is the speed at which we're not doing things in terms of data centres.

And obviously, that's a big deal up here in the northeast because of what's happening potentially in Blyth and around Teesside.

What does it take to get things built?

So do you feel then that there is a freedom to fail?

Because that's what, you know, the first time there is, let's say, a loss in this where one of the companies that's been backed by ARIA doesn't work out and it hits the headlines and then everyone's going, what a waste of taxpayers' money.

But do you, you don't feel that pressure then that there is, you know, do you have freedom to fail?

Yeah.

But just on that, though, you can decide a story that you want to tell the outside world, but the media can do a completely different one to the one you're telling.
