Its modernization utilizes AI and digital infrastructure.
Secretary Lutnick emphasized the importance of building this infrastructure, highlighting that the US is bringing more energy online to bolster AI factories that allow this transformation.
“One of the things we need to do is build. That's part of our philosophy. Building enough at home so we can take care of ourselves and the rest of the world whenever we need it,” says Lutnick.
The combination of supercomputing hyperscale facilities and AI investments in the UK creates incredible scientific exploration and discovery.
“I think the UK's biggest natural resources are incredible researchers and scientists,” says Huang. “It's really extraordinary. Your university is creating critical thinkers, independent thinkers, creative thinkers, and they are inventing amazing things.”
