    AI Investment in Lanarkshire

    In this episode of AI Right!, we take a temperature check on where AI stands in Scotland and globally in early 2026. We explore the major £8bn AI investment in Lanarkshire, what it means for Scotland’s technology ecosystem, and why sovereign AI is becoming a strategic priority for countries seeking resilience in an increasingly unstable global landscape. From AI infrastructure and data centres to environmental impact and net zero commitments, we unpack the real-world implications of scaling large language models (LLMs) at speed. We also dive into the rise of personal AI assistants and local AI agents — including the security risks highlighted by recent developments around agent-based systems. When AI tools have access to email, calendars, internal documents and CRM systems, they sit inside your security perimeter. What does that mean for business governance and responsible AI development? Finally, we discuss enterprise LLM adoption, evaluation challenges such as “LLM as judge,” and why “move fast and break things” may not be a viable strategy when AI underpins critical infrastructure.
