UK's "Sovereign AI Unit" + NVIDIA deal + US-UK tech pact raise the question: renting access or building capacity? My analysis on twin-track sovereignty - domestic procurement mandates + middle-powers coalition.

The UK has recently announced investment agreements with major US tech firms. But over-dependence carries risks. @alturobov.bsky.social argues that true AI sovereignty means building domestic capacity & embracing a multipolar world of digital rule-making www.bennettschool.cam.ac.uk/blog/what-do...

New blog for @bennettschool.cam.ac.uk on the pride in place strategy I explore why the government is going quite big on this and has adopted the language of pride in place, and look at whether it marks a real shift in power away from the centre www.bennettschool.cam.ac.uk/blog/unpacki...

Very pleased my colleagues @bennettschool.cam.ac.uk are one of the teams selected for this excellent @ai.cam.ac.uk initiative to streamline university ops: www.ai.cam.ac.uk/news/eight-t...

The government's ‘pride in place’ programme aims to revitalise local places and empower communities. But it remains to be seen whether the expanded regeneration scheme will mark a meaningful shift in power from the centre, writes @alwalker.bsky.social. www.bennettschool.cam.ac.uk/blog/unpacki...
