Under the global boom in artificial intelligence, the British Stammer administration launched an ambitious “AI Opportunities Action Plan” in January this year, with the goal of becoming an “AI superpower.” Nearly a year has passed, how far has this plan been implemented? The US Consumer News and Business Channel reported on December 27 that many global tech giants have promised to invest in the UK's AI infrastructure, and the British government has also introduced regulations favorable to data centers and designated four “artificial intelligence growth zones”. These are all positive signs. However, critics point out that the UK's high energy costs and strict restrictions on access to the national grid have become key barriers to the development of AI in the UK. “The ambition is huge, but we can't keep up with the ability to land.” Ben Pritchard, CEO of data center power solutions provider AVK, commented.
