UK's 'AI sovereignty' push undermined by its own energy and copyright policy

Nina Schick mocks the UK government's new AI framework (seven principles on sovereignty and control, approved after an October cabinet exchange). She argues the UK is undermining its own 'AI sovereignty': high electricity prices, copyright law that blocks frontier model training, and a regulatory environment that prevents building compute infrastructure — a pattern she compares to three decades of European defence underinvestment and industrial decline.
