UK invests in nuclear power for AI

The British government has announced the Advanced Nuclear Framework, a new initiative aimed at attracting private investment in the next-generation nuclear energy sector. The goal is to power both factories and datacenters, responding to the growing demand for energy needed to support the development and deployment of artificial intelligence solutions.

The initiative recognizes the crucial role of nuclear energy in providing a reliable and low-carbon power source for digital infrastructures, particularly those dedicated to AI. The demand for compute power is expected to increase exponentially in the coming years, making it necessary to invest in alternative and sustainable energy sources.
