UK unicorn CEO: why Europe is lagging behind on AI

Synthesia, the AI video generation platform that allows users to generate avatars from plain text, is one of the UK’s biggest AI success stories, with a current valuation of $4 billion. Headquartered in London, the company is used by 90% of Fortune 100 companies, and 70% of the FTSE100, making Synthesia a major player in the AI video generation space. In this episode of The Business, Synthesia CEO and co-founder Victor Riparbelli joins Hannah Prevett, associate business editor at The Sunday Times to discuss the company’s rapid success, what AI-generated video creation means for creative industries, and why he believes Europe must do more to support the growth of its technology sector. Riparbelli also explains why he sees little incentive for fast-growing technology companies to list on the London Stock Exchange rather than Nasdaq, and argues that Europe's cautious approach to innovation risks leaving it behind in the global AI race. "I'm not sure what we really believe in in Europe," Riparbelli says. "In the US, they believe in capitalism. In China, they believe in technology. I'm not sure what we really believe in in Europe."
