UK
Prime
Minister
Rishi
Sunak
is
to
spend
up
to
£100
million
of
taxpayer
money
on
thousands
of
high-powered
artificial
intelligence
chips,
according
to
a
report
from
The
Telegraph
on
Sunday,
in
an
attempt
to
catch
up
in
a
global
race
for
computing
power.

The
Telegraph
said
that
UK
government
officials
have
been
in
discussions
with
IT
giants
Nvidia,
Advanced
Micro
Devices
and
Intel
about
procuring
equipment
for
a
national
‘AI
Research
Resource’.

This
is
part
of
Sunak’s
ambitions
to
make
the
UK
a
global
leader
in
the
field,
The
Telegraph
reported.

Led
by
science
funding
body
UK
Research
&
Innovation,
The
Telegraph
said
the
initiative
is
believed
to
be
in
advanced
stages
of
an
order
of
up
to
5,000
graphics
processing
units
from
Nvidia,
whose
chips
power
AI
models
such
as
ChatGPT.

GPUs
are
the
critical
components
in
building
artificial
intelligence
systems
such
as
ChatGPT,
whose
latest
version
was
trained
on
as
many
as
25,000
Nvidia
chips.
