There was a simple narrative about Rishi Sunak when he was defeated in the U.K. general election of 2024. The Stanford MBA graduate\u00a0and former Goldman Sachs analyst\u00a0would\u00a0quit Parliament, leave the U.K. and\u00a0hot-foot it to California for lucrative roles towards the top of some\u00a0hyperscaler\u00a0or other. Sunak kept insisting it\u00a0wasn\u2019t\u00a0true, despite the fact he\u00a0often\u00a0wore regulation Silicon Valley white trainers. Few people believed him.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Two years\u00a0later, and\u00a0Sunak\u00a0has confounded\u00a0the sceptics. He is still a Member of Parliament for a rural constituency in the north of England (AI\u00a0use for\u00a0dairy farmers is one of\u00a0his\u00a0specialties). And,\u00a0although he is\u00a0now\u00a0an advisor to Goldman Sachs, Microsoft,\u00a0and Anthropic, his work is resolutely anchored in the U.K. The\u00a0Labour\u00a0government is regularly in touch.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cMy work with the\u00a0two technology companies has left me even more convinced, not just about how much AI is going to change, but how quickly it\u2019s going to change things too,\u201d Sunak told a Goldman Sachs conference for small businesses held in Birmingham, England\u2019s second city\u00a0100 miles north of London.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s\u00a0not just about transforming our economy\u2014as much as that is important. I believe that AI is going to lift the floor for humanity and it\u2019s going to do that because it\u2019s going to make it possible for everyone, no matter where they are around the world, to have access to the best healthcare and education that money can buy. And\u00a0I think that\u00a0is an extraordinary democratizing force.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

He\u00a0told\u00a0the room full of chief executives that speed of adoption is \u201ceverything\u201d.\u00a0If you are not planning for the era of\u00a0applied AI (in use in your business), then the risk is being left behind,\u00a0sitting\u00a0on the wrong\u00a0side\u00a0of a\u00a0\u2018K-shaped economy\u2019.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cMy work with the\u00a0two technology companies has left me even more convinced, not just about how much AI is going to change, but how quickly it\u2019s going to change things too\u201d<\/p>\n

Rishi Sunak, former U.K. Prime Minister<\/p>\n

\u201cLike steam power, like electricity, artificial intelligence is a\u00a0general-purpose\u00a0technology which can and will change\u00a0every aspect of our economy, of our society,\u201d\u00a0Sunak\u00a0said. \u201cWith\u00a0new technologies,\u00a0we\u2019ve\u00a0all been through these cycles.\u00a0There\u2019s\u00a0lots of hype out there, and people get carried away, but\u00a0I genuinely believe that it\u00a0is a conservative estimate to say that artificial intelligence will have twice the impact of the Industrial Revolution\u00a0in just half the time.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

The question-and-answer session with the business leaders is revealing. Most feel they need support with making decisions as CEOs. Others know they\u00a0need to train their staff so that new ways of being productive can be co-created, not ordered from above. Many fear losing their jobs, sometimes through ignorance rather than data. One founder flagged\u00a0\u201cfalse confidence\u201d with splashy AI\u00a0tools\u00a0as\u00a0worthy of note.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s clear that when it comes to AI, the responsibility for it can\u2019t sit in the IT department,\u201d Sunak said. \u201cIt\u00a0has to\u00a0start with the leaders. Research from McKinsey shows that when leaders demonstrate ownership and commitment, they find that AI deployment in their organizations is far more successful.\u00a0That doesn\u2019t mean that you have to have deep technical expertise.\u00a0You\u00a0don\u2019t\u00a0need to become a coder overnight, but\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0about\u00a0awareness\u00a0[and]\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0about mindset.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I go around the country talking to businesses,\u00a0the single biggest mistake I see is that people start with\u00a0the technology\u00a0first and then try and find a use case for it which is completely the wrong way around.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe best thing to do is to look at your business first and figure out where the pain points are,\u00a0where are those tasks that employees are really frustrated with, where are the processes that slow things down, or where are the bottlenecks that are limiting your growth?\u00a0That is\u00a0probably the\u00a0best way to\u00a0identify\u00a0a set of\u00a0initial\u00a0AI use cases.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

One of the sessions at the Goldman Sach\u2019s conference is titled \u201cAI\u2014friend or foe?\u201d.\u00a0Neither,\u00a0of course. The key will\u00a0be a CEO\u2019s awareness of where AI can drive growth and revenue opportunities whilst\u00a0retaining\u00a0the very essential human leadership and guidance that makes each business and division unique. If everyone uses the same AI tools in the same way, then\u00a0everyone\u00a0risks offering the same AI-led solutions. And\u00a0a world\u00a0of AI-slop is not where anyone wants to be.\u00a0<\/p>\n
