LABOUR has scrapped a £1.3 billion investment implemented by the previous Conservative government for tech and AI projects.
The programme included £800 million for the creation of an exascale supercomputer at the University of Edinburgh.
Another £500m was for the AI Research Resource, a scheme which helps fund computing power for AI.
