Middle powers like the UK and Canada will not win the race for ever larger AI models, but through collaboration they can win the deployment race.

Verified via web search. RUSI article "Middle Powers Must Win the AI Deployment Race" (2026) by Broderick McDonald (with co-authors Connor Attridge and Alexandra MacEachern) contains this exact argument. The quoted phrase is confirmed in The Global Eye and other coverage. Broderick McDonald is correctly identified as researcher at Oxford/King's College and Alan Turing Institute visiting fellow. Year 2026 is correct. Vote "against" on statement 449 ("Democratic middle powers should jointly develop frontier AI and share its benefits globally") aligns with the quote — McDonald argues middle powers should NOT try to compete with US/China on developing frontier/larger AI models, but should instead focus on the deployment race. Could not fetch rusi.org directly (403 Forbidden) but multiple corroborating sources verify the quote and attribution.
