英国投1亿英镑设立AI生物安全实验室
英国政府宣布投入1亿英镑设立AI生物安全实验室，重点用于侦测生物威胁并加快疫苗和治疗药物研发。OpenAI与Anthropic将合计提供最高2亿英镑的模型额度、算力、模型访问及技术支持，Google DeepMind和Basecamp Research将参与研究项目；企业提供的是资源支持而非现金。
据The Next Web和Bloomberg Technology报道，该计划将公共资金与前沿模型资源结合，用于应对生物风险并加快医疗对策研发。
The UK government will put £100m into a new AI Biosecurity Lab, which will use advanced AI to spot and respond to biological threats. OpenAI and Anthropic will add up to £200m between them, the Cabinet Office said on Saturday.
The government called the lab the world’s first dedicated AI biosecurity organisation. It will start with two tasks: finding new biological threats early, and speeding up work on vaccines and treatments.
However, the companies’ share is not cash. OpenAI will give £100m in compute and model credits, plus access to its models through its Rosalind Biodefense programme. Anthropic will give up to £100m in model credits, model access, and technical support.
