government plans to make the UK a leading force for artificial intelligence after it was awarded millions of pounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A new \u00a315million training centre at the University of Southampton will be tasked with nurturing British tech talent and developing AI to tackle climate change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The funding package, which includes \u00a38million from UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), will forge the new AI Centre for Doctoral Training in AI for Sustainability, known as SustAI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It will train at least 70 PhD students in sustainable AI, with plans to advance the tech for use across renewable energy and reducing carbon emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SustAI director&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.southampton.ac.uk\/people\/5x2dnl\/professor-enrico-gerding\">Professor Enrico Gerding<\/a>, from the University of Southampton, said: \u201cEnvironmental sustainability is one of the greatest challenges our world is facing \u2013 and many countries are setting ambitious targets to reduce emissions and increase renewable energy production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAI will be key to achieving these targets and, through SustAI, we will nurture the next generation of researchers, engineers and technologists who will be trained to create a sustainable future using AI.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The \u00a315million SustAI centre was announced ahead of this week\u2019s AI safety summit, held at the famed Bletchley Park estate, which intends to fuel the UK\u2019s ambitions to be a tech superpower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It comes just months after Southampton was awarded \u00a331million, also from UKRI, to launch the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rai.ac.uk\/\">Responsible AI UK<\/a>&nbsp;consortium to develop trustworthy artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Associate Professor&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.southampton.ac.uk\/people\/5x8mrs\/doctor-lindsay-marie-armstrong\">Dr Lindsay-Marie Armstrong<\/a>, from the SustAI team, added: \u201cSustainability is at the heart of the centre, both in its research and ethos. We will equip our students with the ability to transform academic research and make a real change to businesses and society.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More than ten other training facilities across Britain were also announced by UKRI, as part of a \u00a3117million package, all aimed at developing artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">UKRI chief executive Professor Dame Ottoline Leyser said the UK is in a strong position to harness the power of AI to transform many aspects of our lives for the better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She added: \u201cCrucial to this endeavour is nurturing the talented people and teams we need to apply AI to a broad spectrum of challenges, from healthy aging to sustainable agriculture, ensuring its responsible and trustworthy adoption.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Applications for students to enrol onto the University of Southampton centre will open soon \u2013 ready for the start of the 2024 academic year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Get the latest updates about SustAI by&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/forms.office.com\/pages\/responsepage.aspx?id=-XhTSvQpPk2-iWadA62p2NIgQFqIg1RNvj1qirb8PRRUOUtYNVVFQVREOEo1REpIWERNNDBDNk9PTiQlQCN0PWcu\">signing up to its enewsletter<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Or contact the SustAI team at&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:eg@ecs.soton.ac.uk\">eg@ecs.soton.ac.uk<\/a>.Source:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.southampton.ac.uk\/news\/2023\/10\/southampton-awarded-millions-to-lead-uk-ai-revolution.page\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.southampton.ac.uk\/news\/2023\/10\/southampton-awarded-millions-to-lead-uk-ai-revolution.page<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I doubt applying AI to sustainability goals will achieve much, any more than&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/wattsupwiththat.com\/2022\/06\/20\/claim-quantum-computing-magic-can-solve-the-climate-crisis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">applying \u201cQuantum Computing\u201d to climate goals<\/a>&nbsp;will achieve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AI is good at optimisation problems, for example the AI in your automobile satellite navigation system can figure out an optimal route to your destination much faster than a human can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the fundamental problem, what to do when the sun goes down and the wind stops, or what to do about the utterly predictable collapse of renewable energy generation every winter.
