Congratulations @KanishkaNarayan on your new role as UK’s AI Minister in the Cabinet, great news for the UK AI ecosystem!

@KanishkaNarayan:
48 hours since @10DowningStreet appointed me AI Minister, and feeling relentlessly focused on shaping AI with British leadership:

We reindustrialise with AI manufacturing 🏭
– First call with @demishassabis on turning British advantage into British jobs
– Spoke to @AlexGKendall about our shared interest in making Britain the home of physical AI jobs
– Affirmed @Arm’s role as UK AI champion directly with @renehaas237
– Joined @JReynoldsMP in speaking to x-tech sector CEOs: we are doubling down on tech prosperity for every nation and region

British security, British influence now rely on AI 🇬🇧
– Stocktake of Britain’s leadership in AI cyber with @NCSC CEO
– Plans to secure British AI with chiefs of UK intelligence communities
– Ambition for @AISecurityInst remaining the world’s AI security talent home, with AISI CEO
– @UKSovereignAI Managing Partner and I talked through next stages of ambition

AI that works for people 🤝
– Worker tacit knowledge is central to good AI adoption, an ambition reshared with @mikeclancy1 at @ProspectUnion
– Thank you, @GMBGarySmith, for recognising AI as the major driver of risk and opportunity for British jobs
– AI works only if it works across the country, led by our communities; some practical steps agreed with @KatieGallagher @UK_TCG

Working with an exceptional team ✨
– First Cabinet, with the PM affirming how crucial AI is
– Meeting brilliant ministerial and official teams at @cabinetofficeuk and @biztradegovuk, the two depts where I started my Civil Service career ~15 years ago
– Ceremony highlight: first Privy Council meeting!

Just getting started!
