00:00Google just dropped £5 billion into UK AI, and it's no coincidence it's happening right before a Trump visit.
00:07Alphabet, Google's parent company, is making a massive £5 billion investment into the UK's artificial intelligence scene.
00:14This includes building up infrastructure, funding major scientific research, and powering up DeepMind,
00:20Google's AI lab run by British Nobel winner Sir Demas Hassabis.
00:24A new £735 million data centre is launching in Hertfordshire, and it's not just about tech.
00:31It'll even heat local schools and homes using recycled energy.
00:34Google's top exec says the UK has profound opportunities for AI breakthroughs,
00:39especially with support from the government's new AI action plan.
00:43And just as Trump lands in the UK, more massive US investments are expected to roll in.
00:48Alphabet just became the fourth company ever to hit a $3 trillion market cap,
00:52joining the ranks of NVIDIA, Microsoft, and Meta.
00:56But Google's also warning, if we don't get AI right, the economic upside might never come.
01:01They're calling for balance between innovation and protecting jobs, between AI power and clean energy.
01:08The AI race is heating up fast, and the UK is suddenly front and centre.
01:12Are we ready?
