Our founding essay: Rediscovering British Progress is a case for growth that drives shared progress, rooted in Britain's values and industrial heritage.
It all starts with a postcard from 1870 👇

@LongResilience Hassabis highlighting the importance of the UK's role on the global stage:
"AI will affect everyone in the world, and it's important we have an international dialogue around the opportunities and also some of the risks."
Fantastic speakers lined up at #futureofbritain conference today to explore the age of AI.
No better time to be here with @LongResilience in the first days of the new Government as they shape their AI agenda.
@LongResilience And fascinating to hear Demis Hassabis, CEO of Deepmind interviewed by Tony Blair on potential breakthroughs needed to achieve human-level intelligence.
Ayve Couloute of Girls Into Coding setting the scene:
AI has the power to solve pressing issues. It opens up a world of possibility. And how we engage with it now will shape our trajectory.
We need to get AI right.

The UK published its updated #NationalRiskRegister today. There is much to commend in the report, which recognises that the UK faces an ‘ever-changing and growing set of risks’ and stresses the need for preparedness and resilience. https://t.co/X1ff5SLGHI 1/5

Huh, so there's a tree at New College Oxford that apparently provides an impressive income, due to its appearance in a well-known movie franchise. If true, that would be an intriguing twist on the apocryphal "oak beam" story attached to the college... Why? 🧵
The UK's refreshed Biological Security Strategy (BSS) was just released, outlining @cabinetofficeuk's vision for transforming the UK's preparedness for, and resilience to, the full spectrum of biological threats by 2030: https://t.co/gjHs31hy9Z (1/3)
Very pleased to see that the UK's updated Biological Security Strategy has been published by @cabinetofficeuk !
An important step forward for HMG to tackle this wide range of issues.
Adding my congrats & gratitude to the UK for a phenomenal new Biological Security Strategy. More to follow from my team & I, but check out these graphics which include two of my favorite parts: a Biothreats Radar & forensic tools to help ID incidents & deter biological weapons:
Excited to see the new UK Biological Security Strategy released by @cabinetofficeuk. Bold and important commitments that we at @LongResilience will be talking about, so tune in to our analysis as we unpack how this could be done on an ambitious timeline. https://t.co/IeLEsPuBHc
The government is looking very carefully at this.
Last week I stressed to AI companies the importance of putting guardrails in place so development is safe and secure.
But we need to work together. That's why I raised it at the @G7 and will do so again when I visit the US.
