A new “Tech Prosperity Deal” between the US and UK, solidified with the signatures of former US President Donald Trump and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, aims to bolster collaboration in emerging technologies, with a particular focus on artificial intelligence. Trump reportedly made lighthearted remarks about AI during the signing ceremony.
The agreement encompasses various initiatives, including the development of AI models tailored for healthcare advancements, the acceleration of quantum computing capabilities, and the modernization of nuclear programs. A significant component of the deal involves Nvidia’s commitment to deploy 120,000 GPUs within the UK.
In related news, Nvidia announced a $5 billion investment in Intel, alongside a collaborative effort to develop innovative products for both data centers and personal computers. This move further underscores the increasing significance of AI-related hardware and infrastructure.
Meanwhile, US regulators are intensifying their scrutiny of competition within the AI landscape, with the Justice Department actively monitoring for any potential anticompetitive practices.
