AI presents an opportunity to build a more prosperous and secure world.

The UK has already laid a strong foundation to seize this moment and is uniquely positioned to translate AI innovation into public benefit. That’s why we are excited to deepen our collaboration with the UK government to accelerate this work and offer a blueprint for other countries.

Together we will focus on using AI to speed up progress in science and education, modernize public services and advance national security and resilience.

Accelerating access to frontier AI in key sectors: Science & Education

Our partnership will center on providing access to frontier AI in two areas foundational to the UK’s long-term success: scientific discovery and education.

The UK has a rich history of applying new technologies to drive scientific progress, from Hooke’s microscope to Faraday’s electrical experiments. We aim to build on this heritage, and empower the next generation of scientists with AI tools that can unlock breakthroughs, transform the economy, and solve some of the major challenges facing humanity. We will provide priority access to our “AI for Science” models to UK scientists, including:

• AlphaEvolve - a Gemini-powered coding agent for designing advanced algorithms
• AlphaGenome - an AI model to help scientists better understand our DNA
• AI co-scientist - a multi-agent AI system that acts as a virtual scientific collaborator
• WeatherNext - a family of state-of-the-art weather forecasting models

Establishing Google DeepMind’s first automated science laboratory in the UK

Enhancing teaching and learning

AI can augment the classroom experience, especially when grounded in learning science.

This impact was made clear in a successful pilot program in Northern Ireland, where Gemini helped save teachers an average of 10 hours per week by streamlining administrative work and brainstorming engaging lesson content.
