IT之家 cites Bloomberg Economics saying AI drove about a quarter of UK growth this year

Bloomberg Economics said artificial intelligence accounted for about a quarter of UK growth this year. The report estimated that AI-related activity, from data-center construction to model development, added 0.45 percentage point to UK growth in 2026, while overall expansion was about 1.8%. Economist Ana Andrade said the technology is injecting growth into the economy, but warned that if AI-related asset valuations fall sharply, Britain could face risks, depending on whether the market adjustment is disorderly or orderly.
