"It’s concerning that none of the projects mentioned in this document, or indeed any other major open source AI project, arose in the UK." I believe this statement is at least partially incorrect. StabilityAI is a London, UK based company, and several of the researchers directly involved in the development of Stable Diffusion are UK citizens. https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/stability-ai

That's a good point. Thank you. Officially the open source model was released by the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich’s CompVis lab. I agree that's something of a technicality.
And AlphaFold was developed across the road from the Turing Institute.
As pitiful as the Turing institutes contributions are from this article, the fact it doesn't mention that throws the entire article into question.
