Google DeepMind partners with the UK government for 'science breakthroughs,
cleaner energy'

Description:
Google continues to invest in the UK, this time with a new DeepMind research
facility.

FULL STORY

Under a new deal with the UK Government, Google DeepMind will open its first
automated, AI-driven research lab in the UK next year, with a key focus on AI
and robotics. 

Google's lab will be key to creating new superconductor materials and
next-generation semiconductor materials, helping the UK, Google, and the 
world progress in areas like medical imaging, chip efficiency, clean energy,
transport, and more. 

For the UK, it means British scientists will gain priority access to DeepMind
tools, making it a win-win for both parties.

Google's next AI lab is destined for the UK

The Government explained in a press release that the lab would be built from
the ground up to support Gemini throughout. But it's not Google's first big
investment into the UK.  Just weeks ago, Google announced a 5 billion plan to
help modernize the UK government's outdated IT .

The Government sees this partnership with Google helping across multiple
sectors. For example, civil servants will be able to use automation tools to
take over repetitive administrative tasks, freeing them up to do more
meaningful work. AI will also play a role in education, both in terms of
training for children and workload support for teachers. 

"This partnership will make sure we harness developments in AI for public 
good so that everyone feels the benefits," Prime Minister Keir Starmer
commented. 

Technology Secretary Liz Kendall acknowledged the powerful transatlantic tech
collaboration deal: "Science and technology are at the heart of our mission 
to drive a new era of national renewal  and partnerships like this will help
us go further, faster." 

Besides upgrading public services, the UK Government also sees this as an
opportunity to climb to the top and become a global AI science leader. 

For now, Kendall will continue on her journey to the US to explore how AI is
having a positive impact on teachers and students.
