“The UK sits at a pivotal point in its potential as an AI superpower. Professor Brown has superbly captured the challenge of turning opportunity and ambition into reality — eloquently providing a roadmap to success.”

Air Cdre (Ret’d) J B Crawford CBEFormer Commandant, Air and Space Warfare Centre

“This book does something rarer than admiring the AI opportunity: it asks what realistic delivery actually looks like — and who has to change to make it happen.”

Samantha SeatonCo-Chair, UK Smart Data Council

“Well-founded advice, innovative ideas, and practical steps to help leaders and their advisers drive effective action in making AI work for the nation.”

Professor Edward Rochead FIMA, AFWESChair, Alliance for Data Science Professionals
