[UK Minister for Artificial Intelligence: Data Center Construction Must Be Accelerated] According to Deep Tide TechFlow, on September 29, the UK Minister for Artificial Intelligence, Narayan, stated that the UK needs to "act faster" to advance data center construction in order to achieve the goal of having "sovereign-level" AI computing capabilities and infrastructure. Narayan mentioned that expanding data center capacity is "a reason the public can clearly understand and support," but he also acknowledged that concerns about the risks posed by AI still exist in society. He emphasized that the expansion of data centers must maintain a "sense of control" to sustain public support, including avoiding over-construction, ensuring that "local communities have a voice," and delivering tangible benefits through measures such as investing in clean energy. The UK government has heavily promoted a data center investment plan worth up to £100 billion (approximately $136 billion). Politicians, including Narayan, advocate that the UK needs to build its own data centers to reduce reliance on other countries. (Jin10)
