Episode 4: GEO Rising, Grids Straining, Governance Lagging
from AI in the UK · host Niels Footman and Matt Wilkinson
Having blown past the notorious fourth episode at which 50% of podcasts supposedly fail, we discuss:- As two UK startups land substantial funding rounds for GEO/AEO-related tech, we ask: might this be an area of strength for the UK? And how proven is AEO anyway?- Two new UK academic reports highlight the mental-health threats of misused chatbots — and the government seems to be listening.- A new report suggests that power consumption by UK data centres could rise five-fold by 2030. Is more nuclear the answer?- New research from Shoosmiths and FT Longitude indicates that UK firms are adopting AI far faster than they're implementing relevant governance. Just how big a problem is this?
