Technology secretary Peter Kylie is visiting the US this week to set out Britain's credentials as the global hub for AI investment.

Speaking at the Nvidia conference in San Jose, Kylie will outline how the government is “rewiring” Britain’s economy to run on AI and set out how AI and advanced technologies are being put to work to help solve some of the most complex shared challenges.

Kyle is expected to say: "In empty factories and abandoned mines, in derelict sites and unused power supplies, I see the places where we can begin to build a new economic model.

"A model completely rewired around the immense power of artificial intelligence.

"Where, faced with that power, the state is neither a blocker nor a shirker - but an agile, proactive partner.

"In Britain, we want to turn the relics of economic eras past into AI Growth Zones."

During the visit, Kyle will also meet with key companies in the US tech sector including Open AI, Anthropic, Nvidia, and Vantage, highlighting the benefits of setting up shop in the UK.

He is also expected to say: "There is a real hunger for investment in Britain, and people who are optimistic about the future, and hopeful for the opportunities which AI will bring for them and their families.

"States owe it to their citizens to support it. Not through diktat or directive, but through partnership."
