Complexity and global comparisons mean that China's infrastructure porn is leaving the rest of looking naked. Government legitimacy comes from competence not only constitutions, we need AI to deliver.
Thank you, Mr Tugendhat. I did enjoy this. I broadly agree with you. AI has the potential for so much in our United Kingdom, and we already have one of the strongest bases in relation to most countries (I hear we are third in the world when it comes to AI, behind the US and China). So I am bullish. But I am weary that it will actually become reality. My fingers are crossed, but it feels as if a fair bit of possibly transformative government technology projects, for the most part, stay as concepts or fail. Of course, maybe we just need to "suck it up" and plan for the long term, where we treat AI like HS2 (before the two northern legs were scrapped), probably a pain to implement and awfully expensive, but could really transform governance and stop the dredge of just things failing to function.

Take a look at the Tony Blair Institute, they’ve been (rightly) banging this drum for a while
