Brexit does not mean the UK missing the next artificial intelligence revolution

Fundamentally the assumption here is will the EU actually lead any of the 4th Industrial innovation and will the UK be worse off for Brexit? Historically the EU has struggled to create competitors to Amazon, Google and new innovations are typically international in nature. Recent research on these issues of coordinated multiple countries agendas has proved burdensome and inefficient but I remain hopeful as a principle a cross boarder EU strategy can work as collectively it is the worlds largest market; but that said in practice is highly fragmented and national centric. The H2020 80 Billion Euro fund available till 2020 is one such issue that post Brexit period may see UK research move east and west as we seek other funding partners. The UK foundations where already well built, in some cases a millennia ago, in the academic and research traditions long before the 1973 membership.
