University Vice-Chancellor visits Downing Street to celebrate UK’s AI ecosystem The University of Bristol’s Vice-Chancellor attended an event at Number 10 to recognise the Government’s commitment to lead in AI.

'The team building Isambard-AI at BriCS have used their experience, combined with the latest modular data centre techniques, to complete in <2 years what usually takes 4-5 years, progressing at unprecedented pace.'

Excited to be invited to 10 Downing Street, the official residence of the UK Prime Minister, for AI discussions with a visiting trade delegation from India. Proud to represent @bristoluni.bsky.social, the Bristol Centre for Supercomputing (BriCS) and Isambard-AI at this important meeting! #AI

What effect could projects run on Isambard-AI have on our everyday lives? ▶️

AI supercomputer being used to develop vaccines for Alzheimer's Waste energy from the supercomputer could one day heat nearby homes in north Bristol.

A world changing supercomputer? Yes please 🙋‍♀️

Our Isambard-AI supercomputer has been celebrated by UKRI as one of their top highlights of 2024 🏅

Truly a groundbreaking effort thus far from the team at Bristol Centre for Supercomputing and what an incredible year in research and innovation for the UK!

A crane is lifting a section of the Isambard-AI supercomputer into the air.

On site to see the final sections of Isambard-AI being craned into place this morning, delivered by Barry, the Dutch lorry driver. Thanks Barry. 🚛

#CIUK has finished for this year. A great event, it felt like most of the UK community was there, with over 900 attendees! Exciting to exhibit Isambard-AI, Isambard 3 and the Bristol Centre for Supercomputing (BriCS). Huge thanks to all our team for their hard work pulling this together #HPC #AI

Last day to apply for this position! Come and join the HPC Group in Bristol.

After yesterday's snow, the sun is shining this morning as the last part of the Isambard-AI data hall is lowered into place. That's 5MW of data centre driven, sailed and craned into position #AI #HPC

It's #SC24 week, so what better time for the Bristol Centre for Supercomputing (BriCS) to assemble the 5MW data centre for Isambard-AI. Of course we have typical UK winter weather to contend with, i.e. wind, rain, and today even snow. Fantastic support from HPE and Contour makes this possible #HPC
