UK's AI investment cancellation hinders UK's digital infrastructure, discourages private sector investment, and risks falling behind in the AI race.

UK's AI boom participation at risk due to £1.3bn AI investment cancellation, including a £800m supercomputer project for the University of Edinburgh.
