About this video

As governments and businesses confront their reliance on US tech giants, AI Decoded explores whether Britain can build its own AI future — and how quickly it must act. Now, a sudden decision from Washington is sending shockwaves through the global AI industry, restricting access to some of America’s most advanced systems — even for its allies. For UK companies, it raises a stark question: what happens when the technology you depend on is no longer available? Presenter Marc Cieslak is joined by Yang Li of East London startup Cosine, now racing to build a “sovereign” British alternative as demand surges following the US clampdown. Tech author and Bloomberg reporter Katrina Manson also joins to unpack the national security stakes, alongside co-host Stephanie Hare.
