Strengthening our partnership with the UK government to support prosperity and security in the AI era

Google DeepMind · 7 months ago

DeepMind is deepening collaboration with the UK government to deploy AI tools across science, education, public services, and national security. The partnership includes establishing DeepMind's first automated laboratory in the UK in 2026 for materials science research, and a pilot in Northern Ireland showed teachers saved 10 hours per week using Gemini while students receiving AI tutoring were 5.5 percentage points more likely to solve novel problems than those with human tutors alone. The arrangement aims to provide UK scientists priority access to AI models like AlphaEvolve and AlphaGenome while modernizing public services, such as reducing planning document processing time from 2 hours to 40 seconds.
