UK Government Met AI Datacenter Companies but Not Environmental Groups

• The British government met with 137 businesses related to AI datacenters but did not meet with any environmental groups.
• An investigation by Spotlight on Corruption found that 84% of stakeholders met with ministers were AI datacenter companies.
• The investigation revealed a lack of engagement with environmental groups during the development of AI and datacenter expansion plans.
• The government's policy on datacenters and AI was shaped by a 'considerable revolving door' of ministers and civil servants moving into AI roles.
• The report was published on Tuesday, highlighting the imbalance in stakeholder engagement.
