The $5.5tn (\u00a34.1tn) US chipmaker Nvidia<\/a> is donating $250m worth of computing power to the UK to support AI safety research.<\/p>\n

The donation from the world\u2019s most valuable company comes as the UK government confirmed its AI Security Institute, which tests advance AI models, will be able to examine cutting-edge technology<\/a> developed by companies such as OpenAI, Anthropic and Google before they are released.<\/p>\n

Nvidia said the donation, which spans five years, would \u201csupport agentic safety and security research across the UK\u201d.<\/p>\n

Safety concerns about AI agents \u2013 highly capable computer programs that are able to design and perform sequences of tasks autonomously \u2013 have risen since the summer, when OpenAI confirmed that a \u201cswarm\u201d of agents had attacked Hugging Face<\/a>, a tech startup.<\/p>\n

Nvidia did not reference AISI in its statement but said most of the money would \u201csupport the wider UK AI safety and security research community\u201d, with a proportion of the cash going to the -led British Open-Ended Learning and Discovery Lab, the Science of Fundamental AI Research Lab \u2013 run by the Edinburgh, Cambridge, Oxford and University College London universities \u2013 and Imperial College London.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe UK brings world-class scientific rigour to this essential engineering challenge,\u201d said Jensen Huang, Nvidia\u2019s chief executive. \u201cWith this $250m commitment, Nvidia will put accelerated computing in the hands of UK researchers to develop, test and strengthen safeguards for increasingly powerful AI.\u201d<\/p>\n
