Welcome, everyone! Today, we're diving into why the UK is not the hotbed for AI that it promises to be. Spoiler alert: it's like trying to start a barbecue in a rainstorm!

Investment in AI has dropped so fast in the UK, I'm surprised it didn't sprout wings and fly away! I mean, even pigeons get more funding for their cooing!

And let’s talk about talent drain. It’s like the best minds are packing their bags and heading to Silicon Valley faster than you can say 'algorithm'. If we’re not careful, soon our best AI experts will be teaching robots how to surf!

The UK’s regulatory environment feels like trying to navigate a maze built by a committee of tortoises. By the time you find your way out, the technology has moved on to version 2.0!

And let’s not forget the market size. With a domestic market smaller than a teacup, it's no wonder AI startups are looking overseas. At this rate, our AI products will only be used to help grandma find her glasses!

Speaking of glasses, has anyone here tried to explain AI to their grandparents? It’s like trying to teach a fish to ride a bicycle! What’s the funniest thing your grandma said about technology?

So, folks, if we want the UK to thrive in AI, we need to fix these challenges. Otherwise, we might as well just stick to making tea and hope for the best. Thank you and good night!
