Google launches AI initiatives and investments in the UK

techradar.com

Google has announced new AI initiatives in the UK, including expanded data residency for its Agentspace platform. This allows UK businesses to store data locally, enhancing security and compliance with regulations. The move follows Google's $1 billion investment in a new data center set to open in 2025. In addition to data residency, Google is investing in AI skills training and startup support. The company has trained over a million individuals in the past decade and is offering financial support to UK AI startups through its Google Cloud Startup Program. Google also introduced Chirp 3, an audio generation model with advanced features, at its London event. While it offers significant capabilities, Google is implementing restrictions to prevent misuse, addressing concerns about potential risks associated with AI technology.
