Explore how the UK can secure long-term advantage in AI, not just through innovation, but by owning the infrastructure, models and systems that will shape its future.

As AI becomes critical to how nations grow, govern and defend themselves, sovereignty is no longer a technical discussion. It’s a strategic one. This session brings together Rt Hon Alun Cairns and AMPLYFI CEO Paul Teather to explore what Sovereign AI means in practice and what the UK needs to do now to move from intent to action.

They cover key issues from the UK AI Action Plan: national infrastructure, AI supply chain resilience, foundational model development, regional innovation and where the UK can lead globally. Packed with practical insight, this session is ideal for leaders in government, defence, research and regulated industries who are working at the intersection of AI, strategy and national capability.
