The prime ministers of UK and Canada have released a joint statement to announce enhanced collaboration in trade, science, technology, and innovation. Among other things, both countries agree to (1) explore cooperation in the development of sovereign artificial intelligence infrastructure; and (2) deepen and explore new collaborations on frontier AI systems to support our national security (including a partnership agreement to strengthen existing collaboration on AI safety and security between the Canadian AI Safety Institute and UK AI Security Institute, and new Canadian and UK MOUs with leading Canadian AI firm Cohere). Under the Canadian MOU, Cohere will collaborate with the Canadian AI Safety Institute and develop their commitment to building cutting-edge data centres in Canada. Under the UK MOU, Cohere will expand their UK presence to support the delivery of the UK AI Opportunities Action Plan.
