'Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away’. Humbled to experience one such moment at the UK House of Lords, meeting the Lords, Big Techs discussing Sustainability, Ethics, Responsible AI @WarwickBSchool @uniofwarwick

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 🇮🇳 On India’s Independence Day, at Cardiff Castle, I loved sharing themes that most capture the undertold story, interwoven with my own story, of Wales and India’s distinct connection.

🏏 𝐶𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑘𝑒𝑡: One of the first ever matches for the Indian national cricket team at Cardiff Arms Park in 1932 (luckily, a tie for all of us tested by Tebbit’s test!). A heritage continued by Sourav Ganguly and Ravi Shastri at Glamorgan. For me, personally, the most beautiful memories of a club homeground at Bassleg, the springboard for tours across Welsh village grounds.

👩‍⚕️ The care of a tight 𝑐𝑤𝑡𝑐ℎ: Nye Bevan’s vision of an NHS shared and carried by so many of Wales’ Indian diaspora. In the early 2000s, 70%+ of Rhondda and Cynon Valley’s GPs of Indian and South Asian heritage. In a moment of Wales’ deep tragedy - Aberfan - one of those Indian doctors, Dr Subrahmanyam, amongst the rescue medical team. The present day dignity of care recipients finding laughter alongside their Keralan carers.

🤝An extroverted 𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑚𝑜𝑛𝑤𝑒𝑎𝑙𝑡ℎ: at a time of insular politics in so many places, two nations grounded not in the repudiation of another, but in the extraversion that says: we are stronger when we look outward.

💛 𝐶𝑦𝑛𝑒𝑓𝑖𝑛: a fierce pride in preserving our mother tongues, our cultures of storytelling, our lands of poets and singers, deepened alongside the pressures of modernity.

☀️ And, crucially, 𝐶𝑦𝑛𝑒𝑓𝑖𝑛 𝑎 𝑐ℎ𝑦𝑛𝑛𝑦𝑑𝑑: Belonging alongside progress. Two nations tied together not primarily by our past, but by two sets of people chasing the future. What is an ambitious future - on AI, on the future of steel, on vaccines, on care - that isn’t a Welsh-Indian future?

48 hours since @10DowningStreet appointed me AI Minister, and feeling relentlessly focused on shaping AI with British leadership:

**We reindustrialise with AI manufacturing** 🏭
-- First call with @demishassabis on turning British advantage into British jobs
-- Spoke to @AlexGKendall about our shared interest in making Britain the home of physical AI jobs
-- Affirmed @Arm's role as UK AI champion directly with @renehaas237
-- Joined @JReynoldsMP in speaking to x-tech sector CEOs: we are doubling down on tech prosperity for every nation and region

**British security, British influence now rely on AI** 🇬🇧
-- Stocktake of Britain's leadership in AI cyber with @NCSC CEO
-- Plans to secure British AI with chiefs of UK intelligence communities
-- Ambition for @AISecurityInst remaining the world's AI security talent home, with AISI CEO
-- @UKSovereignAI Managing Partner and I talked through next stages of ambition

**AI that works for people** 🤝
-- Worker tacit knowledge is central to good AI adoption, an ambition reshared with @mikeclancy1 at @ProspectUnion
-- Thank you, @GMBGarySmith, for recognising AI as the major driver of risk and opportunity for British jobs
-- AI works only if it works across the country, led by our communities; some practical steps agreed with @KatieGallagher @UK_TCG

**Working with an exceptional team** ✨
-- First Cabinet, with the PM affirming how crucial AI is
-- Meeting brilliant ministerial and official teams at @cabinetofficeuk and @biztradegovuk, the two depts where I started my Civil Service career ~15 years ago
-- Ceremony highlight: first Privy Council meeting!

Just getting started!

[Kanishka Narayan MP @KanishkaNarayan]

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.
