Ministers accept $1m from Meta to fund defence and security AI
The Guardian
|January 28, 2026
Ministers have accepted $1m (£728,000) from Meta, the US tech and social media company, to build AI systems for defence, national security and transport, prompting warnings that the government is “alarmingly close” to US tech giants.
The money from Mark Zuckerberg’s company will be used to pay experts to “develop cutting-edge Al solutions ... to support national security and defence teams”, the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) announced.
The money would pay for four British Al experts, coordinated by the government-funded Alan Turing Institute, to “play a pivotal role in rewiring our healthcare, police, transport systems and more”, said Ian Murray, the minister for data and digital government.
