The Prime Minister, @andyburnham, today asked me to attend Cabinet as Minister for AI, a sign of his deep commitment to AI's importance.
AI is likely the most significant technology in human history. Its impact will dwarf other things.
The best case for it is compelling beyond our dreams: a reindustrialised Britain, stronger national security, public services transformed for the better.
The risks, too, are real: it is right that the British public shares those worries, for jobs, for the pace of change.
The central fact is that it is happening. Nations have a narrow window to decide whether they shape AI or get shaped by it. Britain is in that window right now.
While that window is still open, I will act with pace, I will act with ambition, and I will focus relentlessly on securing British influence in shaping AI.
I will also bring to this job the place I represent - a constituency in Wales, a nation with industry and ambition at its heart, a proud history of punching above its weight on the global stage. A nation which welcomed a 12-year old and his family, gave us the best chance at opportunity, put me in Parliament as Wales' first ethnic minority MP, and now affords me the chance to make a mark in Cabinet. Diolch o galon to everyone in the Vale of Glamorgan.

When policies affect young people, they should have a seat at the table.
Last week, I was grateful for online safety discussions facilitated by @MattWestern_ with thoughtful students from Campion School and Myton School, and Q&A with brilliant students from @JoWhiteSays’s Parliamentary Summer School.
ANTHROPIC ENGINEER:
"DON'T PROMPT CLAUDE. BUILD A SYSTEM THAT PROMPTS ITSELF."
In this free workshop, he explains why most people use Claude the wrong way.
And how to turn one AI into an entire team of AI agents.
He covers:
• Proper CLAUDE.md setup
• Plugins almost nobody uses
• Advanced prompt caching (95% cache hit rate)
• Why starting every chat from scratch is a mistake
Worth more than most paid Claude courses.
Watch this and bookmark it.
It's crucial to release weight off the model.
Openness may be one of the most important paths to AI safety and security.
Still, Google, OpenAI, & Anthropic didn't sign for it.
