Investing in AI can be done via ETFs (exchange-traded funds), which track the performance of a particular sector or market index and are available through investment platforms such as eToro. Alternatively, investors can choose to invest in AI-focused mutual funds that are managed by professional fund managers. These funds may have higher fees than ETFs.

Exploring AI Investment Opportunities in the UK

The UK must develop a clear position on which areas of frontier AI are strategically important and make concentrated bets – in a way that maximises the country’s upside however the technology evolves. It must also build sovereign-state technical expertise through the creation of Sentinel, a national laboratory focused on testing safe AI and developing the next generation of AI-related tools.

AI requires massive data centres that house the large and complex computers that are used to ‘train’ AI models and run ‘inference’ – the process of using the model to complete tasks or answer questions. Governments that can offer low-cost, reliable power and streamlined planning approvals for AI data centre builds will be best placed to attract investment.

Government must expand education pathways into AI, supporting a wide range of routes into the profession, including further and higher education, apprenticeships and self-led upskilling. In addition, it must support the development of AI-enhanced teaching and learning, and encourage academics to use generative AI tools for the benefit of their students.
