That is quite the exception... The thing that is supposed to be the next big thing
- NikkiA 3y agoIt might be the next big thing, but there's pretty much a 100% guarantee that the UK will not be the driving force for it.
- twixfel 3y agoWe might even be, but rest assured that in any case, we will ultimately fail to capitalise on it. It's the British way.
- dbspin 3y agoIs it? By its nature AI might add to Britain's GDP but seems unlikely to positively affect poverty or employment.
- rsynnott 3y agoThe trouble with things that are supposed to be the next big thing is that, statistically, they are usually not. Even if it is, the UK has a history of fumbling such things. There was a time when the UK was fairly clearly the world leader in civil nuclear energy (MAGNOX, AGR), airliners (in particular the Comet), and civilian computers (LEO-1), more or less all at the same time. This... didn't last.
