West must take lead in AI race, warns UK technology secretary

Peter Kyle spoke as politicians and tech company bosses gather in Paris, and after the emergence of a new Chinese force in AI, DeepSeek, rattled investors and upended assumptions about US leadership in the field.

The minister told the Guardian he would use the summit to explain why Britain should be at the forefront of developing AI systems.

He said that, as well as allowing global leaders and companies to "come together and learn from each other", the summit would give the UK a chance to show it had the "skills and the scientific pedigree" that are "essential if western, liberal, democratic countries are to remain at the forefront of this critical technology".
