UK Space Agency and DSIT Publish Quantum Technology Roadmap for Space Targeting 2035–2040 Sovereign Capabilities - Quantum Computing Report
The UK Space Agency and DSIT have published a Quantum Technology Roadmap for Space, outlining strategic priorities for 2035–2040. The roadmap identifies four investment themes: assured timing, resilient sensing, sovereign communications, and long-term computing, aiming to transition prototypes into flight-qualified space systems. It also emphasizes the need to address engineering bottlenecks and proposes immediate actions to strengthen the UK's sovereign industrial capabilities in quantum space technology.

Re-engineering AI Procurement: How UK Policy Shifts Transformed Safety Guidance Into Software Supply Chain Liabilities + Video
Introduction: The UK Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) recently published its updated AI assurance guide and procurement toolkit, establishing a definitive framework to evaluate bias, model safety, and operational reliability across public sector suppliers. Although initially styled as administrative guidelines for Whitehall buyers, this framework fundamentally reallocates legal liabilities down the software supply chain by transforming voluntary safety recommendations into binding contract warranties.
