New supercomputers will put the UK 'first in the queue' when it comes to R&D and managing AI risks
UK INDUSTRIAL researchers have been promised a boon on the fringes of the Bletchley AI Summit thanks to new supercomputers called Isambard-AI and Dawn being built in Bristol and Cambridge. Their proponents say the supercomputers will allow a huge step forward in AI and the simulation capabilities needed to accelerate the development of fusion power and drugs, while testing the risks of new powerful AI models.
