Questions mount over what an AI 'slowdown' would look like

"There is no plan B" a former government adviser told me, so could a slowdown wreck future prospects here in Britain? The AI industry is burning through enormous amounts of money and natural resources and so far, is not creating nearly as much revenue. "One of the probably the biggest challenges that we have right now is that no one can predict with certainty how this technology is going to evolve," says Alexander Voicu from the UK AI company Synthesia. "I'm not worried about the existential risks of AI, I'm worried about the corporate greed of the companies that are creating it," says Sasha Luccioni, the founder of Sustainable AI. Whatever the reality, the storm currently engulfing the AI industry could already have caused reputational damage to the firms currently in pole position forever.
