|June 11, 2025
PRIME Minister Keir Starmer and the chief executive of US chip maker Nvidia have launched a major Al initiative at London Tech Week.
The pair unveiled a series of measures to enhance the UK's AI infrastructure, research, and industrial capacity, with the aim of transforming the UK into an "Al maker, not an Al taker."
As part of the proposals, Nvidia has pledged to invest in its own AI lab at the University of Bristol, which is home to Isambard-AI, the UK's most powerful supercomputer.
The company, a key contender in the global Al race, also launched the first UK sovereign AI industry forum in collaboration with major British companies, including BAE Systems, BT, Babcock, National Grid, and Standard Chartered.
