Sky News technology correspondent Rowland Manthorpe examines why hardware is central to AI sovereignty, who designs and owns the AI chips and why the UK government is trying to back British hardware companies. He examines the rise of Arm Holdings, now one of the UK's most valuable companies, and explains why its success in the AI boom does not necessarily give Britain control over the hardware powering artificial intelligence.
