The tech giants are dedicating more than £31b to artificial intelligence systems, quantum computing initiatives and other tech projects, according to the UK’s Department for Science, Innovation and Technology. The announcements include investments from companies such as Nvidia, CoreWeave, Salesforce, Google, and BlackRock, with the UK government also opening a new AI Growth Zone to boost technology growth.
“The two countries are now pairing up,” Kanishka Narayan, an undersecretary for the UK’s science department, said in a press briefing. “At the heart of it, it’s a focus not just on the history of our special relationship but on our future.”
