00:00When the NHS uses AI to treat patients, we want that data here.
00:05When our armed forces use AI to keep us safe, we want that data here.
00:12So here's the deal.
00:14I'm today launching a new British data centre covenant
00:17with strict tests that data centres must meet
00:20to invest in local communities, create local jobs and protect local water supplies.
00:25In return, critical data centres will get the grid connections they need
00:31and, where necessary, be allowed to build on-site generation while they wait.
00:38Built on sovereignty and security, I want to ensure that the British people can benefit
00:43from the huge potential upsides of AI, with the new AI Challenge Prize
00:49to find innovative uses for AI in public services
00:52and the Union Learning Fund to back workers.
00:55This is how Britain leads on AI.
00:59Secure, safe and working for the British people.
01:02Amen.
