Tell the story
of AI in
Britain.

Film a short video with a political message about AI. Win a paid placement making videos at the heart of the UK Minister for AI's team.

01 · Why this matters

AI IS THE QUESTION of our times.

AI has exploded into our media and our politics. The job now is to steer the UK on an ambitious path - making the most of new opportunities, while mitigating the risks.

Public storytelling is central to that. We're looking for the people who can make that happen.
