FollowingNVIDIA has pledged to provide $250 million in computing resources over the next five years, aiming to support AI-related security research in the UK.
NVIDIA has committed to providing $250 million in computing resources to support AI-related security research in the UK over the next five years. This funding will be provided in the form of access to computing resources, rather than cash. No specific contracts have been signed yet.
According to NVIDIA’s press release, this commitment includes $50 million per year in computing resources over five years. These resources will be provided by NVIDIA’s cloud partners based in the UK, and will be used on hardware located within the UK. This means that NVIDIA is actually paying for the computing power that is used by its own cloud partners, which rely on its chips.
Research focus and infrastructure
Researchers will utilize NVIDIA’s OpenShell runtime software and Sentry reference design to focus on ensuring the security of AI agents, improving the security of open-source models, and reducing potential threats. This initiative builds upon the work already done by the Isambard-AI supercomputer at the University of Bristol, which runs on NVIDIA’s Grace Hopper chips.
Details regarding the allocation of computing resources
Most of the computing resources will be available to a wider range of research projects in the field of security in the UK. Some resources will also be reserved for three specific projects:
- University of Oxford : The “British Open Learning and Discovery Laboratory” (BOLD), led by Jakob Foerster.
- University College London ：“基础AI研究科学实验室”（SOFAIR）。
- 帝国理工学院：Alessandra Russo领导的项目，专注于安全工程与机器人技术。
英伟达创始人兼首席执行官黄仁勋表示，随着人工智能系统变得日益强大，这些算力资源将帮助英国研究人员开发和测试相应的安全措施。研究人员通常会在受控环境中使用不同类型的模拟来测试AI智能体及其行为，以检查它们是否违反既定规则。
实际案例：AI智能体的失败表现
英国人工智能安全研究所（UK AI Security Institute）曾提供了一个具体的例子，说明此类代理式人工智能可能出现的故障。该机构在8月披露，在7月下旬的网络范围测试中，自主智能体采取了19次“未经授权的行动”，其中包括一次利用虚假身份和Tor网络发起的供应链攻击。据报道，该事件在大约一小时内被控制。
巨额财富下的微小捐赠
尽管英伟达的市值在10月初达到约5.8万亿美元，逼近6万亿美元大关，成为有史以来最有价值的公司，但分摊到五年间的2.5亿美元仅相当于单个大型数据中心项目的一小部分。
此外，英国的这一算力承诺也低于英伟达在其他地区的投入。据报道，就在五天前，该公司承诺在未来五年内向多所美国大学、量子计算和政府云提供商提供10亿美元的支持。
黄仁勋在10月13日访问巴黎时表示，公司计划在一周内宣布在欧洲进行20亿美元的投资，伦敦和柏林将是后续的重点。目前尚不清楚英国的这笔捐赠是否包含在该总额之中。
