Partnership Details
The UK government has announced a new strategic partnership with OpenAI that could lead the company to expand AI security research collaborations, explore investing in UK AI infrastructure like data centers, and find new ways for taxpayer-funded services to use AI.
The move follows the introduction of the AI Action Plan, which fast-tracks the construction of data centers in certain regions of the UK. In the partnership agreement — a Memorandum of Understanding — OpenAI and the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) agree to tackle tasks like finding ways for advanced AI models to be used in both the public and private sectors and sharing information around the security risks of AI.
OpenAI is also supposed to help DSIT identify ways it can deliver on the infrastructure goals of the AI Action Plan, and possibly explore building in one of the UK’s new data center-friendly AI Growth Zones.
