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 "AI maker, not an AI 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.
