00:00Yeah, I think AI is a enormous opportunity. It's somewhere where the UK economy can absolutely
00:06hold its head up and compete with the best and brightest in the world. And it's an agenda,
00:11of course, that we in government were full square behind. The sad truth is, although I do welcome
00:16what's happened today, is that this government's just lost six months. One of the first bad
00:21decisions that Rachel Reeves made was to take 1.3 billion out of the AI and supercomputing budget.
00:28You know, they fought a rearguard action. And today, I think they're putting some of that money
00:33back. But the reality is, we've lost six months as an economy,
00:36where many others are catching up or overtaking us.
