The UK Government has appointed Tom Blomfield (@t_blom) as one of the UK's AI ambassadors. His role will be to convince british talent to think bigger and be more ambitious - a cause he's been passionate about for some time. He'll be joined by @RaiaHadsell (VP of research at deepmind) and Simon Johnson (nobel prize winning economist) @jamespaulwise will be chairing a new £500m initiative to back Soverign AI. All of this AND a £25bn private AI investment package were announced today. There's a lot of pessimism in the UK ahead of the budget next week so it's GREAT to see some good news
