Listing in London a ‘bad idea', says British tech giant
The boss of a £1.5bn British AI business said listing in London is 'not a great idea', highlighting the challenge facing the Square Mile as it seeks to attract more tech companies. Victor Riparbelli, the chief executive and co-founder of Synthesia, claimed the UK and Europe had a 'big problem' in securing blockbuster listings, as he stressed that reform is needed to halt an ongoing exodus to the US. 'We have a big problem in Europe,' he said. 'We don't have a stock exchange that is attractive to list on. 'The London Stock Exchange has weird transaction fees and not enough liquidity. It is clearly from a business perspective, not a great idea to list on the London Stock Exchange. That is something I think we should try and fix.' He said that while a UK listing made sense for companies focused on domestic customers, those with a global reach were more likely to look across the Atlantic. He added: 'There are structural issues around listing in the UK that do not seem very attractive when we get to that point to go public.' Founded in 2017 by Danish entrepreneur Mr Riparbelli, along with Steffen Tjerrild and computer scientists Lourdes Agapito and Matthias Niessner, Synthesia has grown rapidly by making highly realistic AI avatars. These avatars are used by businesses to create AI videos, with the characters capable of delivering training videos or presentations. They can also be used for marketing videos or customer communications. The start-up was valued at $2.1bn (£1.5bn) earlier this year after raising $180m from investors including US fund NEA, Google Ventures and Nvidia. Mr Riparbelli said Synthesia was still some way off going public, but added: 'We are getting to the stage where we start to think about it.' It comes as Synthesia plots a major expansion in London, recently moving into a new headquarters that could double its headcount to 400. Despite Mr Riparbelli's reluctance to list in London, he insisted that he wanted to keep the company based in the capital. Pressure has been mounting on the London Stock Exchange in recent years after a surge in companies leaving for America. This includes Wise, one of the most valuable technology companies in the UK, which unveiled plans last month to shift its primary listing to New York. Meanwhile, Synthesia was among dozens of AI start-ups earlier this week demanding a freeze on Europe's planned new AI rules, warning they threaten to stymie fast-growing companies. Mr Riparbelli said Brussels was at risk of 'shooting itself in the foot' with overly strict AI regulation, compared to Britain, which has taken a 'health stance'. A spokesman for the London Stock Exchange said it is supportive of plans to scrap some stamp duty fees in Britain, which they said has a 'pervasive impact on liquidity in UK capital markets'.

An EY exec tells BI how the consulting firm is helping companies integrate AI this year: 'This idea of up-skilling the entire workforce to use AI, I think it's kind of silly"
Jason Noel is the CTO for EY's Americas Consulting division. Noel told BI how the firm is helping companies think through AI adoption this year. The firm is focusing on the "convergence of digital and human workforces," he said. The rhetoric around AI in the workplace can be vague: Automation, algorithms, productivity, efficiency, decision-making, up-skilling, the list goes on. Between rapid technological progress and the lag of adoption, there's continued uncertainty about how AI will reshape the future of work. Many employees are anxious about their value, for instance. Executives are at once captivated by the potential for profits and worried about keeping up with their competitors. Investors and company boards are frustrated by the losses they've already incurred from not moving fast enough. Consulting firms are often at the heart of it all. From the outset, at least, they've positioned themselves as the go-to experts to help corporations understand and navigate this latest wave of technology. Yet their work can often be as unclear as the technology itself. To demystify it, Business Insider spoke to EY's new chief technology officer for its Americas Consulting division on what AI really means for workers in 2025. There have been comments about cataclysmic unemployment rates that are gonna plunge us into the next Great Depression. I mean, I think it's interesting to think about those alternatives. It's just not what I'm seeing. I think over the next year, you're going to see an increasing uptake in these copilots, these tools like the ChatGPTs and the private and public models, and interjecting some AI capability into existing enterprise applications, and increasing productivity and efficiency. We're thinking a lot about what we're calling the next generation of enterprise applications — interfaces that present people with what they need based on their role, offer key AI insights, and let them act. The AI agents generate suggestions, and the human validates and approves. We're piloting this now with some major clients, and it's been an incredible success. That's how we're thinking about the convergence of digital and human workforces — not just managing them together, but creating systems where AI augments people in a seamless way. If I'm a cruise director on a cruise ship, there are lots of things that impact how my guests enjoy the ship. The makeup of the people on the ship, the weather, what day — if you're on a day at sea, or if you're going to a port — all of that stuff. There's data to be found there on what happens and how the guests behave. I mean like their buying activities, where they like to hang out, those types of things. So, we can harness that information with AI agents to actually understand and predict what's going to happen. We know, for example, that tomorrow's weather is going to be bad, and it's a day at sea. We know historically how all of that affects the movement of people and the consumption of products, whether that be merchandise, food, or beverages. So, we recommend that you take half of the people from this venue and move them to this venue. We recommend moving around products so you don't run out, because we know what demand is going to look like. We recommend redeploying people to do different things in anticipation of this. The AI will turn around and list out and build out that process automatically. The human in the loop says, "Okay, that makes sense," or "I want to change this piece." This is through a very visual, nice interface. They click go, and then there's a chain of orchestration that happens, in which people are notified, leadership is notified, supply chain changes on the ship. They just know that they have a screen and an application that says, "Here's how much stuff you have now of this," and "Here's how many you have coming inbound," maybe. They don't need to know how the technology works. This idea of up-skilling the entire workforce to use AI — I think it's kind of silly. You need to look at the functions — rethink that. That also dovetails into the people part, right? You're not only just giving them technology that's AI-enabled, you're allowing them to start to rethink how they do their job, and how they can be more efficient at the job, and also provide more overall value and capability.
