The rise of artificial intelligence: What next for the UK economy?
Posted: 20th Nov 2025
As the use of artificial intelligence (AI) continues to spread across economies around the world, the UK stands at a critical juncture. While the United States dominates the development of AI in terms of scale, the UK’s strengths in chip design, cyber security and materials science (among other things) offer major opportunities to influence the next generation of AI innovation. For example, the UK could play a major role in the continued development of edge systems (the use of AI in local/decentralised devices like cameras and sensors), improvements to efficiency, as well as more sophisticated cyber security.
