Today is the launch of #BridgeAI which for me is the culmination of a long journey I have been involved in since 2017 making the case for an AI adoption programme in the UK - focused on helping AI #startups focus on sectors that help grow our economy. 🧵

We were pleased to welcome @FeryalClark MP, Minister for AI and Digital Government, at Digital Catapult to demonstrate how we support deep tech startups to grow in the UK, across AI, cyber security and security for digital infrastructure.

Our work in accelerating the digital future would not be possible without our programme alumni who also joined us on the day: @vishalkumar from @thealicecamera, Adam Finney from 3bian, Richard Gonzalez from Sensor IT, Phil Day from @ConfThings and Gameli Ladzekpo from Flossy AI.

Over the past decade, we have enabled deep tech companies to scale faster, advanced data driven and open future networks and more:

🚀 We worked with over 3000 companies, including supporting over 250 deep tech startups.

💰 We supported them to raise over £555 million of investment since 2018.

📡 We provided over 45 deep tech companies to access our advanced connectivity testbeds, helping them to attract over £66 million of investment.

We focus our capabilities and expertise around significant challenges and opportunities facing the UK’s economy, where technology can play a major role in providing solutions.

Interesting visit to the Digital Catapult in London. Exploring opportunities for cooperation with Germany, also in the framework of Horizon & Eureka.

Spatial Intelligence is a critical piece of the AI puzzle. This is my 2024 TED talk about the journey from evolution to AI, on how we build Spatial Intelligence. "Sight turned into insight; Seeing became understanding; Understanding led to action. All these gave rise to intelligence." 1/

My favourite bit of the #BridgeAI annual event this year (so far)? AI generated music from prompts on @udiomusic showcased by Jonny McCausland of @HatTrickProd. #Dune: The Musical is now weirdly something I want to see…#ai @innovateuk @DigiCatapult

[Phil Young @philydigital]

Has emerging technology ignited a new golden age of creativity? Fascinating panel with @JessieDriscoll @SuhairK @MirowskiPiotr @evelynwelch2013 followed by a very cool demo with @KerwynDyte live recorded from our advanced media production lab. #DigiCat10 @DigiCatapult @JeremyS1

This week the UK chairs discussions at the @OECD Global Forum on Technology, talking with international partners to foster global cooperation around rapidly evolving tech such as AI.

@NorwichChloe gave opening remarks at the inaugural event 👇

[Phil Young @philydigital]

Addressing rapid changes in tech & fostering innovation requires global collaboration. The @OECD is a key enabler for preparing us towards a #AI #SpatialComputing twin cyber physical future. Panel with @SciTechgovuk Chloe Smith MP today in Paris for #GFTech 2023 @DigiCatapult

[Phil Young @philydigital]

I am proud to now work with @innovateuk @KTNUK @turinginst @HartreeCentre to continue this vision, creating & scaling companies in these sectors to bring the force of this exciting set of technologies to the real world with real value for everyone. This is just the beginning! #AI

[Phil Young @philydigital]

We designed a national programme to increase # of AI solutions in key markets like #transport #construction #creativeindustries #agriculture built responsibly, with the end user in mind. Supporting those sectors in the foundations needed to bring them value through AI.

Need to create an ecosystem that takes the Metaverse beyond silos to be healthy and sustainable. This means better interoperability, better representation and diversity - making sure avatars are real representations for the real people who use it. @taimoorhusain @Microsoft

[Phil Young @philydigital]

Great to be part of #MWC23 with @DigiCatapult today with @JeremyS1’s chairing a panel “Metaverse to Matterverse” - steps to making it more real for industry is vital but lots to be excited about @ALF05TER @bt_uk @taimoorhusain @RonnieVasishta @TeamviewerJan @Microsoft @nvidia 🧵

[Phil Young @philydigital]

Making experiences accessible for consumers is key - there is a half way house where we render the Metaverse in 3D but interact with it in 2D for now. A first step to help people understand the value of bringing digital and physical together @RonnieVasishta @nvidia #digitaltwins
