The UK government has announced a significant boost to its artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities by tripling its investment in its “AI Research Resource.” The initial £100 million investment has now been increased to £300 million. This investment will be used to strengthen the UK’s most advanced computer, Isambard-AI, and a newly announced supercomputer called “Dawn” in Cambridge. The purpose of this investment is to enhance AI capabilities and foster breakthroughs in various fields, including drug discovery and clean energy. Isambard-AI, located at the University of Bristol, will be equipped with 5,000 advanced AI chips from Nvidia, making it ten times faster than the current fastest machine in the UK. The Cambridge-based supercomputer, “Dawn,” will be powered by over 1,000 water-cooled Intel chips and will focus on breakthroughs in fusion energy, healthcare, and climate modeling.
