LONDON: President Donald Trump’s state visit to the UK has already delivered pledges from US tech giants to invest a combined $42 billion to help drive Britain’s AI sector.
The UK and US governments meanwhile agreed co-operation over nuclear and space technology as part of a “Tech Prosperity Deal.”
Below is a list of the main deals, led by Microsoft, outlined in a joint statement issued by the UK government and companies.
The company’s “largest ever commitment to the UK” comprises a $30-billion investment over four years, half of which will be spent on cloud computing and artificial intelligence infrastructure.
It includes plans to build Britain’s largest supercomputer.
