Google Expands AI Footprint in the UK with Agentspace Launch and Data Residency
Google is enhancing its AI operations in the U.K. with the launch of the Agentspace platform, allowing enterprises to host AI agents locally. CEO Thomas Kurian announced financial incentives, offering up to £280,000 in Google Cloud credits for startups joining its UK accelerator. The event also unveiled the integration of Chirp 3 into Google’s Vertex AI. This move aims to address data privacy concerns while fostering collaboration with existing partners like BT and WPP. The U.K. government's push for AI integration further complements Google’s strategy to lead in the AI space.
