  • A House of Lords Committee says Britain risks being an "incubator" for AI and creative tech startups that ultimately take their value overseas

The article from Forbes, published on February 5, 2025, discusses concerns raised by a UK parliamentary group about the potential exodus of AI startups from the UK. The group fears that without adequate government support, these startups might relocate to countries offering more favorable conditions for AI development, such as the US or EU. Key issues highlighted include the need for better access to funding, talent, and infrastructure. The report suggests that the UK government should implement policies to retain AI innovation within the country, including tax incentives, streamlined visa processes for skilled workers, and increased investment in AI research and development. The article also mentions that the UK has been a hub for AI with companies like DeepMind, but there's a risk of losing this edge if the environment isn't nurtured.
