@KanishkaNarayan What he means is that it’s illegal to build it without paying for the resources required (copyrighted work). It is of course perfectly legal if you pay for your training data.

@KanishkaNarayan Entrepreneurs and researchers like me share the same concerns. There’s legal work needed, and a ton of work to achieve British sovereignty in AI. We’ll get there because finally scientists, engineers, VCs and government are coming together to face reality.

"We need to see strategic shifts in American geopolitical thinking," EU Defense Commissioner Andrius Kubilius told us in the #POLITICOPub at #MSC2026. As the U.S. looks to shift more of their attention to deterring China, "we [Europe] need to accept that rationally," he said.

Labour Minister for AI & Online Safety Kanishka Narayan MP responds to Jim Ratcliffe's "colonisation" comment by saying it was "shocking." On immigration we were never asked. Most govts defied the people. Tony Blair even wanted to "rub our noses in it." We have been colonised.

Trump’s “transactional” approach to Belarus has its merits, but the EU should not follow suit, Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya told us at #POLITICOPub during #MSC2026. “American sanctions are to release people; European sanctions are to release the country.”

🇿🇦Senzo Mchunu has been suspended on full pay for nearly 7 months now! Cyril Ramaphosa told us a short while ago that South Africans are impatient… imagine! ActionSA MP Dereleen James MP is RIGHT!

Pride in being British is now treated as a thought crime. Our history should inspire us, not shame us. Britain can rise again if we have the courage to do so.
