Britain Joins Forces with OpenAI to Lead the Future of AI Development
Britain and OpenAI have formed a strategic partnership to enhance AI security research and invest in UK AI infrastructure. The collaboration aims to leverage AI for economic growth and social issues. The UK government plans to invest £1 billion to boost AI development, helping the nation compete globally.
Britain has sealed a strategic partnership with OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, to deepen collaboration on AI security research and invest in the UK's AI infrastructure, including data centers, according to a government announcement on Monday.
Peter Kyle, the secretary of state for technology, emphasized the vital role of AI in transforming the country, affecting sectors like healthcare, education, and the economy. He stated that such changes are impossible without the significant contributions of companies like OpenAI, whose international work will now expand its footprint in the UK.
The UK government has committed to investing £1 billion in computing infrastructure for AI development, aiming to increase public compute capacity 20 times over the next five years. This investment seeks to keep pace with the US, China, and India in the global AI race, while OpenAI considers expanding its London office and targeting sectors such as justice, defense, security, and educational technology.
