The United Kingdom's government announced on Monday that it signed a strategic partnership with OpenAI, aiming to increase research collaborations in the field of artificial intelligence security, boost investments in AI data centers in the UK, and incorporate the latest technology into the country's security and education sectors.
UK's Technology Secretary Peter Kyle and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman signed the "Memorandum of Understanding" to deepen the AI company's commitment to the UK, with plans of expanding OpenAI's London office and exploring ways to incorporate AI in the UK's justice, defense and security, and education technology. The company is also set to support and invest in the UK's "AI Growth Zones."
"AI is a core technology for nation building that will transform economies and deliver growth. Britain has a strong legacy of scientific leadership and its government was one of the first to recognise the potential of AI through its AI Opportunities Action Plan," Altman said.
