当然，在英国，谷歌选择将其整个 AI 部门聚集在 Google Deepmind 的英国人 Demis Hassabis 的领导下。

And if our goal is to make this country the best place in the world for tech, AI is surely one of the greatest opportunities before us.

如果我们的目标是让这个国家成为世界上技术最好的地方，人工智能无疑是摆在我们面前的最大机遇之一。

As Chancellor, I doubled the number of AI scholarships because even back then, I recognised the potential of AI as a general-purpose technology.

作为校长，我将人工智能奖学金的数量增加了一倍， 因为即使在那时，我也认识到人工智能作为一种通用技术的潜力。

Now, with most things in life, the more you learn about them, the less magical they appear, but the more we learn about frontier technologies like AI, the more they widen our horizons.

现在，生活中的大多数事情， 你对它们了解得越多，它们看起来就越不神奇， 但我们对人工智能等前沿技术了解得越多，它们就越能开阔我们的视野。

Already, we've seen AI help the paralysed to walk.

我们已经看到人工智能帮助瘫痪者行走。

And discover superbug-killing antibiotics.

并发现能杀死超级细菌的抗生素。

And that's just the beginning.

而这仅仅是个开始。

Combined with the computational power of quantum, we could be on the precipice of discovering cures for diseases like cancer and dementia or ways to grow crops that could feed the entire world.

结合量子的计算能力，我们可能即将找到治疗癌症和痴呆症等疾病的方法， 或者找到可以养活全世界的农作物的种植方法。

The possibilities are extraordinary.

So this is our strategy for AI: To lead at home; to lead overseas; and to lead change in our public services.

所以这就是我们的 AI 战略：在国内领先；领导海外；并引领我们公共服务的变革。

All part of how we meet our goal of making this the best country in the world for tech.

我们如何实现使这个世界上最好的技术国家的目标的所有部分。

And let me just conclude with this final thought.

让我以最后的想法结束。

I was recently looking through a collection held by the British Library.

我最近正在浏览大英图书馆的藏品。

And I saw a letter from Charles Babbage to the then-Chancellor, dating from the 1830s, thanking him for funding his difference engine – the forerunner of the modern computer.

我还看到了 1830 年代查尔斯·巴贝奇 (Charles Babbage) 写给时任财政大臣的一封信，感谢他资助他的差分机——现代计算机的先驱。

That was a decisive moment.

那是一个决定性的时刻。

The British government broke with the conventions of the time, and for a decade, backed this breakthrough technology.

英国政府打破了当时的惯例，十年来一直支持这项突破性技术。

We're at a similar moment today.

我们今天处于相似的时刻。

And I'm determined that when future researchers visit the British Library in 200 years' time, they will discover that this government and all of us here in this room met this moment with the same courage, vision, and determination.

我坚信，当未来的研究人员在 200 年后访问大英图书馆时，他们会发现这个政府和在座的所有人都以同样的勇气、远见和决心迎接了这一刻。

Thank you.
