The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, with reference to recommendation 14 of the report commissioned by his Department entitled AI Opportunities Action Plan, published on 13 January 2025, what steps he is taking to (a) maintain and (b) further the UK’s position as a leader in AI innovation through international compute partnerships.

Answered by Feryal Clark

The Government recognises the importance of international collaboration to unlock AI’s potential, including through compute partnerships. We are engaging likeminded countries to explore partnerships that expand access to compute infrastructure and catalyse joint research. This includes maximising our membership of the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking and working with other likeminded partners to support researchers.
