Oliver Hides with Friday's Phone In... The number of data centres across the UK is on the rise as the growth in artificial intelligence increases the need for processing power. The UK government classifies data centres as critical national infrastructure and, according to recent Senedd research, "most jobs in the UK" are now reliant on them. But concerns have been raised about the large amounts of resources data centres require - including electricity, grid capacity, and water - as well as the impact on the local communities where they are built. Would you mind if an AI data centre popped up in your town? The supermarket Morrisons has been condemned for sourcing Chinese chicken in its own-label breaded chicken range. Animal rights campaigners, industry groups, and customers have criticised the retailer and warned that the decision raised questions concerning animal welfare, transparency, and sustainability, as well as threatening British producers. Do you care where your meat comes from? And finally, the Cabinet Office is expected to move ahead with a campaign to ensure that UK households and supply chains will be able to cope in the event of an emergency, by encouraging people to stockpile food and resources.
