The UK government is committing £100 million to an AI biosecurity lab involving OpenAI, Anthropic and Google DeepMind. The project addresses risks associated with AI, with a focus on biosecurity.

The facility will help the institute expand its evaluation work on frontier AI models. The institute’s earlier partnerships with the three companies included biosecurity red-teaming and safety research.

Separately, NVIDIA’s commitment to UK AI safety research provides $250 million in computing access over five years.
