The Business of AI · 2026-09-04 · 19 min
This week Tim gets a ride at the buzzy Uber x Wayve robotaxi launch in London ("AI on wheels" and, "a real milestone for the British AI industry"), digs into the £100m government fund backing British AI startups, unpacks the Matt Clifford-to-Anthropic conflict-of-interest row, pushes back on calls for a data centre moratorium, and covers Nvidia's $12.9bn Hugging Face buy, new AI "kill switch" bills in the UK and US, and Matt Lucas and Hugh Bonneville's campaign to protect actors' voices from cloning. A quick look at the week in British AI. The views expressed in this video are Tim's own personal opinions and do not necessarily reflect the views of UKAI or any of its members. AI is our Business.
