US and UK Sign New Tech Deal Amid Trump's Lighthearted Jabs at AI
LONDON - In a gathering of business leaders and technology executives, US President Donald Trump made light of the growing concern over artificial intelligence (AI) while signing a new tech deal with the United Kingdom on Thursday.
The agreement, aimed at fostering cooperation between governments, academia, and private sectors in areas like AI, was signed by Trump and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Among those present was Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, whose company has become a key player in the global AI boom.
During his remarks, Trump acknowledged that he had limited knowledge of AI but joked that it was "taking over the world." He turned to Huang and said, "I hope you're right. All I can say is, we both hope you're right."
The deal marks a significant step forward for US-UK ties in the tech sector, with billions of dollars in pledged investments expected to flow into joint projects.
The agreement focuses on AI research and development, as well as its applications in areas such as healthcare, finance, and transportation. It also aims to establish standards for AI safety and security.
Nvidia's Huang said that the deal would help drive innovation and create new opportunities for businesses and researchers. "This partnership will enable us to accelerate our work on AI and make it more accessible to people around the world," he added.
The signing of the tech deal comes as the global AI market continues to grow rapidly, with estimates suggesting it could reach $190 billion by 2025. The US and UK have been at the forefront of this growth, with both countries investing heavily in AI research and development.
Background on AI Hardware Chips
AI hardware chips, such as those developed by Nvidia, are crucial components in enabling the widespread adoption of AI technology. These chips are designed to handle complex calculations required for AI processing, making them essential for applications like deep learning and natural language processing.
The US-UK tech deal is expected to have significant implications for the global AI industry, with many experts predicting that it will drive further innovation and investment in AI research and development.
Next Developments
The signing of the tech deal marks a major milestone in the growing partnership between the US and UK in the tech sector. As the agreement takes effect, both countries are expected to continue investing heavily in AI research and development, with a focus on applications that can drive economic growth and improve people's lives.
In related news, Nvidia has announced plans to expand its operations in the UK, with a new facility expected to be opened in London next year. The move is seen as a major boost for the UK tech sector, which has been growing rapidly in recent years.
As the global AI market continues to grow, it remains to be seen how this deal will shape the future of AI development and adoption. One thing is certain, however: the US-UK partnership in the tech sector is set to drive significant innovation and investment in AI research and development for years to come.
