Kungani i-Salesforce Ikhethe iLondon Isikhungo sayo sokuqala se-AI kanye ne- $ 4 Billion AI Investment

I-London isalokhu iyidolobha elihamba phambili kwezobuchwepheshe ngaphandle kwase-US, ngokusekelwe ekuhlaziyeni kwe-Dealroom okusebenzise inhlanganisela yezinto ezihlanganisa uxhaso, amalungelo obunikazi, nokuphuma kwezigidigidi zamadola.

Ububanzi bomsebenzi bungaqashelwa phakathi ne -London Tech Week , umcimbi waminyaka yonke wezinsuku ezinhlanu ohlanganisa abaholi bezinkampani zamazwe ngamazwe, izikhulu zikahulumeni, kanye nombukiso oshukumisayo ezinkulungwaneni zababekhona.

Ngesikhathi sohlelo lwango-2024, olwalubanjelwe eLondon Olympia ngoJuni, umsindo omayelana nobuhlakani bokufakelwa (AI) enhlokodolobha yase-UK ubuzwakala phezulu nangokucacile.

Ngomnyakazo ofike ngesikhathi, i-Salesforce yethule ukuvulwa kwesikhungo sayo sokuqala esizinikezele se-AI ngobusuku bangaphambi kwe-London Tech Week, okuhambisana neLondon World Tour yenkampani.

Isikhungo esisha se-Salesforce se-AI sizobona kuvulwa indawo engu-40,000-square-foot e-Blue Fin Building, indawo eyisikhumbuzo esekelwe osebeni oluseningizimu yoMfula iThames eSouthwark, futhi izosingatha uchungechunge lokuqeqeshwa kwe-AI kanye nezinhlelo zokuthuthukisa amakhono ngenkathi futhi kwakha ukuxhumana okubalulekile phakathi kwezinkampani zobuchwepheshe, ochwepheshe kanye nozakwethu be-Salesforce.

Kodwa kungani i-Salesforce ikhethe ukuya eLondon, futhi ingabe lesi sinqumo sasiyisinyathelo esihlakaniphile?

Ivoti lokuzethemba laseLondon

Nakuba i-Salesforce ibukeka ingase ivule izikhungo ze-AI eziningi ezindaweni ezibalulekile zamazwe ngamazwe ngokuzayo, isinqumo sayo sokukhetha iLondon njengedolobha lokuqala elisingatha lo mzamo omkhulu sikhuluma kakhulu ngekhono ledolobha.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, kubukeka sengathi i-Salesforce akuyona ukuphela kwefemu yezobuchwepheshe ebuka i-London ngendlela enhle ngokuthuthukiswa kwe-AI. Ucwaningo olwenziwa yiLondon & Partners, okungenye yezindlela eziqhuba iLondon Tech Week, luthole ukuthi u-77% wabathatha izinqumo ezinkampanini ezinkulu zamazwe ngamazwe ze-AI babheka leli dolobha “njengelisekela kakhulu intuthuko ye-AI kunamanye amahabhu amakhulu e-AI,” ngokusho kombiko. Umqondisi Ophethe uJanet Coyle.

Kuyajabulisa futhi ukuqaphela ukuthi i-AI Center akuwona umdlalo wokuqala owenziwa yi-Salesforce lapha.

Le nkampani izibophezele ku- $4 billion ukutshala emisha ye-AI eminyakeni emihlanu ezayo ngaphansi kwe-Salesforce Ventures.

Kuze kube manje, izigidi ezingu-200 zamaRandi kakade zinikezwe amafemu e-UK AI okuhlanganisa i-Eleven Labs, umhlinzeki we-AI-powered text-to-enkulumweni nejeneretha yezwi, kanye nesiteji sokuthenga i-AutoGen AI ukusho izibonelo ezimbalwa.

Ukuba khona kwesikhwama se-Salesforce Ventures okuhambisana nesikhungo se-AI kukhombisa ivoti elicacile lokuzethemba ngekusasa laseLondon ku-AI, kodwa impumelelo yaso kungenzeka incike ohlelweni olubanzi lwe-tech ecosystem enhlokodolobha.

Ukukhuphuka kwezikhungo ze-AI eYurophu

Kodwa-ke, kubonakala sengathi iLondon izoba ngelinye lamadolobha amaningi azosingatha izikhungo ze-AI ezizinikezele maduze.

Isibonelo, iMicrosoft ihlela ukutshala imali eyizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-3.2 ezikhungweni ze-AI eSweden, ukubheja kwayo kwengqalasizinda okukhulu kunakho konke okwake kwenzeka ezweni laseNordic. I-Enterprise Data4 iphinde yamemezela ukuthi kule nyanga ihlela ukuthuthukisa isikhungo se-AI ngaphandle kwase-Athene, okuwuphawu lokuthuthuka kwengqalasizinda yedijithali nomnotho waseGreece.

Ukuze siqonde kabanzi mayelana nezinzuzo zezikhungo ze-AI sikhulume noRanjit Tinaikar, oyi-CEO ye-Ness Digital Engineering (Ness), okuthe ekuqaleni kwalo nyaka yethula isikhungo sokusungula izinto e-Europe.

Ekhuluma ngokukhula kwezikhungo ze-AI emhlabeni jikelele kanye nokuvulwa kwesikhungo sokuqala se-AI se-Salesforce eLondon, uTinaikar wachaza, “Ngicabanga ukuthi Izikhungo ze-AI ziwumbono osebenza kakhulu. Futhi ngiziqonda ngokuphelele izinjongo zokuba ihabhu le-R&D lokushayela ubuhlakani be-AI.” Ngesikhathi esifanayo, ugcizelele ukubaluleka kwesisekelo se-ecosystem ekunqumeni impumelelo yalezi zinhlelo.

“Uma ubungase uqhathanise iBoston, eyayiyisikhungo sobuchwepheshe saseMelika ngeminyaka yama-60 namashumi ayisikhombisa, ngaphambi kokuba ithathelwe indawo yiSilicon Valley njengendawo yobuchwepheshe; kungani lokho kuvukela umbuso kwenzeka? Yayidinga izinto ezine: Okokuqala, yayidinga isikhungo esinjengeStanford, esasinesithakazelo sangempela ocwaningweni oluyisisekelo. Ucwaningo oluyisisekelo, hhayi ezohwebo. Okwesibili, yayidinga i-VC kanye nezimakethe zezimali ezizungezile ukuze ixhase leyo mibono futhi ihwebe ngokusebenzisana namanyuvesi. Okwesithathu, awukwazi ukwenza lokho ngaphandle uma unethalente lasendaweni elihlala kuleyo simiso sezinto eziphilayo futhi liyise leyo mibono ukuyimaketha. Okwesine, udinga ukwesekwa nguhulumeni ukuze uvumele abantu babeke engcupheni.”

Kodwa-ke, isikhulu sixwayise, “Uma ungenazo izikhungo ezigxile ocwaningweni, ezisezingeni eliphezulu, isikhungo samathalente, kanye nemakethe yemali eyixhasa ngempela, kusho ukuthi ngokuhamba kwesikhathi ngeke isimeme.

Unale mpendulo engqondweni, kubonakala sengathi indawo ye-AI e-UK isezingeni eliqinile. Isibonelo, izifundo zokuqeqesha zonjiniyela ezishiwo ngenhla i-Salesforce ezinikezayo manje ngeSikhungo sayo esisha se-AI esizinze e-London zisekelwa yi-City Hall, nePhini leMeya yase-London Yebhizinisi Nokukhula, u-Howard Dawber, okhona emcimbini wokuvula.

Khonamanjalo, leli dolobha linengcebo yamanyuvesi ocwaningo ancintisana namazwe ngamazwe afana ne-University College London, iLondon School of Economics kanye neKing's College London, konke okuqhubekisela phambili inqubekelaphambili yocwaningo lwesayensi yedatha futhi asebenzisane nezinhlelo zikazwelonke ezifana ne-Alan Turing Institute. , isikhungo sikazwelonke sase-UK sesayensi yedatha ne-AI, eyasungulwa ngo-2015 futhi ixhaswa kakhulu uhulumeni wase-UK.

I-Alan Turing Institute izinze ' eQuarter Yolwazi ' yaseLondon, okuyindawo okugxilwe kuyo ezungeze iKing's Cross yaseLondon ehlala ezinye izikhungo zikazwelonke njengeFrancis Crick Institute ngaphezu kwezinkampani ezinkulu zobuchwepheshe ezifana ne-Google, ezikhethele isizinda se-UK. indlunkulu.

Lesi sixuku esibucayi sezikhungo zemfundo, izinhlelo zikazwelonke, amazinga aphezulu okutshalwa kwezimali kanye nokuba khona kwamabhizinisi amakhulu ezobuchwepheshe konke kukhomba ekusaseni eliqinile le-AI eLondon nase-UK.

Ikuphi okulandelayo kwezikhungo ze-AI?

Nakuba kusekude kakhulu ukubona ukuthi izikhungo ze-AI okukhulunywe ngazo ngenhla zizoletha umthelela ongakanani, ukuba khona kwazo kukodwa kuphakamisa ikusasa eliqhakazile. Noma ngabe i-Salesforce eseLondon noma iMicrosoft eseSweden, ukutshalwa kwezimali okungaka okungaka ukuze kuvulwe imisebenzi ye-AI ebabazekayo kuzokwenziwa ngemva kokucutshungulwa ngokucophelela. Iqiniso lokuthi lezi zindawo zikhethiwe ukuthi zibambe isikhungo se-AI kusho ukuthi sezivele ziziqhayisa ngezingxenye ezidingekayo ze-AI ecosystem edingekayo.

AbaseBrithani badume ngokusungula izinto ezintsha mayelana nokungasebenzi kahle, okuphakamisa ukuthi isikhungo esisha sizokwazi ukuzulazula kunoma yiziphi izithiyo ezizayo ezingavela.
