Samsung opens huge AI centre in the UK

Korean technology giant Samsung has announced the opening of a huge new AI research in Cambridge, UK to capitalise on local talent. Cambridge has gained international recognition as a hub of AI talent. Google's acquisition of DeepMind, whose headquarters is based in the city, only helped to further boost this reputation. "Today's announcement by Samsung will create high-paying, high-skilled jobs and our modern Industrial Strategy will encourage further investment like this all around the country," says Prime Minister Theresa May. "It is a vote of confidence in the UK as a world leader in artificial intelligence, and the new AI research centre will benefit from the world-renowned talent and academic prowess of Cambridge."
