Britain Launches $125m Taskforce To Drive AI
The United Kingdom has on Monday announced 100 million pounds ($124.5 million) in initial financing for a taskforce to assist in the development of foundation models.
The foundation models are a type of artificial intelligence utilized by chatbots such as ChatGPT – for use in domains such as healthcare and education.
“Harnessing the potential of AI provides enormous opportunities to grow our economy, create better-paid jobs, and build a better future through advances in healthcare and security,” British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said.
The minister added that this AI would potentially help in building a more innovative economy for the country.
“By investing in emerging technologies through our new expert taskforce, we can continue to lead the way in developing safe and trustworthy AI as part of shaping a more innovative UK economy.”
