This kind of science/tech investment is and has been catnip for UK government, regardless of political party, for years. They're out of ideas to stimulate growth, and AI is their hail Mary. No one involved seems to be able to explain why it will work.

Maybe they think it's like Peter Pan, if enough people believe in it, it will work.

Ok let’s assume that AI will be a game changer. How does hosting it in the UK change anything? Just feels like something to brag about, but doesn’t have any impact.

The UK is suffering from persistently expensive electricity (https://grid.iamkate.com/, see All-Time). How does hosting AI data centres help with that?
