Graphcore and Hadean to develop UK-sovereign AI capabilities for national security
Summary
The partnership aims to tackle problems at the heart of innovation in the defence space and ensure that national security services are able to harness and exploit new capabilities at the speed-of-relevance. In the Defence industry, staying ahead of global competitors and adversaries requires reliable information to enable the clearest situational awareness, comprehensive training, and fastest decision-making possible. With the meteoric rise of AI being used in a majority of production, analysis, and business operations, ensuring these resources are available and working optimally with the right solution can be challenging. Hadean CEO, Craig Beddis, said: "Our partnership with Graphcore will turbo-charge the development and deployment of native AI capabilities and deliver the tools defence and national security leaders need to keep our democracies safe. We are working closely with Hadean to ensure that our capabilities are fully optimised and integrated and that customers have access to the AI compute they need at the scale they need.”
