GPUs in the UK? 'It's almost impossible'
Meryem Arik on GPU shortages and luck.
Happy Friday,
First, a diary date. The Morning Intelligence is hosting its first IRL event on Tuesday July 14th. We're having breakfast at iNHouse's Westminster office alongside an expert panel who'll be taking your questions on where tech policy goes under Andy Burnham.
Joining us are Antonio Weiss, who is advising Burnham's team on tech policy, Vinous Ali, from the Startup Coalition, Carsten Jung, who is leading work at the influential IPPR think-tank on what the government’s AI strategy should look like and Alex Davies-Jones, Labour MP, who was one of the first ministers to resign after the party's May election drubbing.

How do you get real value from AI?
The PSC has the answer. They’ve developed a framework that aligns AI tools with your organisation’s goals, rather than just individual enthusiasm. It puts your budget and talent where they’ll have the most impact and tracks exactly what is and isn’t working.
How do they know it works?
They’ve used the framework with some of the world’s leading public sector groups who have seen staff confidence in AI and productivity surge.
