Al push at risk in public scepticism, think tank warns
Nottingham Post
|September 22, 2025
NEARLY twice as many people see artificial intelligence (AI) as a risk to the economy rather than an opportunity - a scepticism that could undermine Sir Keir Starmer's bid to make Al central to the Government's growth strategy, Sir Tony Blair's think tank has warned.
-
Polling from the Tony Blair Institute (TBI) and Ipsos found that 39% of Britons see Al as a threat and 20% as an opportunity.
It comes after the Prime Minister signed a new tech deal with Donald Trump last week as he seeks to make Britain a world leader in Al and spur on its adoption across Whitehall in a drive to improve productivity and cut costs.
America's top technology companies announced £31billion of investment alongside the agreement, including £22bn from Microsoft to fund an expansion of Britain's Al infrastructure and the construction of the country's largest Al supercomputer.
