The decision to suspend the investment in AI technology in Tyneside is due to national challenges, rather than the strength or ambition of the region. The decision was made to tie in with President Donald Trump's state visit. However, Onwurah, who supports the government's commitment to using AI and technology innovation, criticised the Open AI business model and the potential for a global increase in energy consumption. She also highlighted the need to address the issue of global warming and the impact of the Iran war on the environment.
