Kanishka Narayan

Yes, and Britain's AI minister, uh, says one of his top priorities is creating a contingency plan for job losses that, by his own account, do not yet show up in the figures that we're seeing in the labor market.

So Kanishka Narayan, uh, who has sat in, you know, the government cabinet as AI minister since July, was speaking on twenty-eighth of September at a fringe meeting at the Labour Party.

He said the government must take seriously the possibility of an unprecedented impact on the jobs market and added, "If it's going to hit us in a big way, you are going to want us to be as ahead of the curve as possible." He said UK firms had told him there was no aggregate impact in the overall labor market as yet, but that one technology company had hired fewer people because tasks had been automated.

He said a contingency plan, he said, could involve changes to labor market policy and even where we might go on some aspects of regulation.

Wilson said similar of the DEA just weeks before devaluation.

Kanishka Narayan, the AI minister, cites Tony Benn as a fellow public school techno-enthusiast, even if Narayan is of a different intellectual tradition.

The Labour rights feature is Kanishka as a former West Reading backer.

Intelligent and industrious, Narayan did an estimated 70 conference events, with his role being to present an alternative political economy to the Prime Minister's more insular worldview.

The same day, a developer announced it had applied to build a gigawatt data center on fields beside a dead nuclear station in Galloway.

On Wednesday, BT, Leonardo, HPE, Kainos, Sopra Steria, PA Consulting, Telefonica Tech, and Cosine wrote to the Prime Minister and his AI minister, Kanishka Narayan, asking for twenty billion pounds over five years for sovereign compute power and data centers.

Without it, they warned, the UK risks becoming a customer.

The budget is on the twenty-eighth.

The business secretary, Jonathan Reynolds, warned against being, quote, hyperbolic about AI.

In mid-September, the AI minister, Kanishka Narayan, told The Times that new legislation and powers were under consideration and that, quote, nothing is off the table.

Around all of this, the temperature kept rising.

The King convened AI leaders at Dumfries House on 17th September and spoke of existential risks.

And to me, the central thing is, is the Labour Party and the Labour movement able to win the argument that the best way to do that is to build British technology?

Kanishka Narayan, thank you so much.

Thank you, thank you.

This was

It's not just a sort of negative.

And I think Kanishka Narayan, the AI minister, has been out and about in the last 24 hours saying people are going to have to expect that there will be more data centres around the country.

But bluntly, you know, we don't have enough cheap electricity to fund as many data centres as it would be useful to have in terms of maximising efficiency.

the opportunity for both the public and for government to make use of AI at the scale that, you know, people think that it might be beneficial to do so.

I mean, absolutely fair play.

Incredibly talented rising star called Kanishka Narayan as minister of state.

Fun fact, the only old Etonian elected a Labour MP since 2005.

There you go.

That is a line that Pope Leo is pushing very strongly and hoping to get influence for it.

But if you're Kanishka Narayan, the new AI minister, posting from the UN, here's what he said on X, we will work closely with international partners driven by a single test on AI.

Will the British public benefit? I mean, that is just AI motherhood and apple pie in a frontier-shaped nutshell.

I didn't mix a metaphor.
