[British companies: We need to share the $40 billion AI investment equally with American companies and not become "land dealers" for American data centers] Allan Kaye, co-founder and director of data center specialist Vespertec, wrote in a report that British policymakers should ensure that British companies can benefit equally from the billions of dollars in technology investment commitments, just like American companies. Major American companies have pledged to invest more than $40 billion in the UK in the next few years to expand artificial intelligence infrastructure. Kaye said that these investments are certainly worth celebrating, but he is worried that the balance of investment returns will tilt towards American technology giants. Kaye pointed out: "We must work with American partners on an equal basis to promote the development of the UK's local artificial intelligence industry, rather than just becoming a 'land provider' for American data centers."
