CTOnews.com, April 26 (Xinhua) Britain is not willing to lag behind in the hot track of artificial intelligence.

British Science and Technology Minister Michelle Donelan has announced that the country will spend £100m (CTOnews.com Note: currently about 861 million yuan) to set up a new "basic Model working Group" (Foundation Model Taskforce) to develop an AI scheme that will bring "global competitiveness".

▲ Touyuan UK government website announced that the creation of the "basic model working group" was inspired by the vaccine team during the anti-epidemic period, which reported directly to the prime minister and the minister of science and technology. If all goes well, the British government will announce the choice of the leader of the "basic Model working Group" this summer.

In addition to this organization, about 900 million pounds (currently about 7.749 billion yuan) in the country's budget will be devoted to very large-scale supercomputers and specific AI research resources.

Through this move, the UK hopes to have its own "sovereign" AI artificial intelligence technology, and its public services can also benefit from the transformational impact of this artificial intelligence.
