UK chancellor Healy said the government must embrace AI and invest in data centers to deliver a productivity revolution and help lift wages for ordinary workers. Healy said AI has the potential to attract large-scale investment into the UK and urged the development of a sovereign AI capability to support growth and protect national security. Healy discussed the AI revolution with Fed chair Kevin Warsh during Warsh’s UK visit on Wednesday; Warsh said the US is already seeing early signs of AI-driven productivity and wage gains for ordinary workers and UK growth data may be showing initial signs as well. Prime Minister Burnham made a brief appearance at the meeting.
