by The most powerful supercomputer Great Britain has come online when the government reveals plans for a large drive in AI research across the country.
Technology secretary Peter Kyle changed the change of the Iambard AI machine in Bristol on Thursday, in a move that Minister Great Britain will help develop new medical remedies and tools to reduce emissions.
The government has promised £ 1 billion in order to increase the Great Britain’s computing capacity by 2030, including the creation of a series of KI-“growth zones”, which are intended to accelerate the planning permits for new data centers.
One of them is built in Scotland, where Chancellor Rachel Reeves has confirmed that 750 million pound funding of the development of another supercomputer in Edinburgh and another in Wales will be dedicated.
Together with a second existing supercomputer in Cambridge, Isambard should be able to process in a second “what the entire world population would take 80,” said the government.
It is expected that companies and scientists are able to use the systems to process more of the data that is required for the training and structure of AI models to make new drug discoveries and breakthroughs in climate change technology.
Researchers from the University of Liverpool are already using the machine to search tens of millions of chemical combinations to find ways to decarboning the British industry.
The plans are part of the new computer roadmap, a strategy that aims to reduce the dependence on foreign processing power and to change the public computing capacity of the UK.
By 2030, the government expects this ability to increase to 420 AI Exaflop – the equivalent of one billion people who spend 13,316 years out of what the system will do in one second.
In order to support the plans, researchers, academics and tech bosses were brought together to develop a AI science strategy that is to be published in autumn.
The group includes Google Deepmind Vice President Pushmeet Kohli, Vice President of the Royal Society Alison Noble and Chair of the Research Council of Engineering and Physical Sciences Charlotte Deane.
Ms. Reeves said that the plans would “change our public services, drive innovations and recharge their business growth, put the money into people’s pockets”.
Mr. Kyle said you “put a rocket under our brilliant researchers, scientists and engineers and give them the tools you need to make Britain the best place for your work.”
