Britain and Norway outlined plans for closer artificial intelligence cooperation on November 12, following a meeting of their digital ministers at the Atlantic Futures Forum. The statement identifies potential work on computing capacity, new hardware and the secure hosting of public workloads.
The countries also intend to explore cooperation between their defence AI teams and exchanges on testing and evaluating advanced systems. The UK’s AI Security Institute and AI Norway would share practices, with cybersecurity expertise contributing to the work.
The ministers also proposed dialogue on international standards and governance. Their document sets out areas to explore under the existing bilateral partnership; it does not announce a funded computing facility or a defence system already jointly deployed.
