intelligence translation updates : Data Sovereign AI joining King Charles 1 2 in state visits - Japan Emperor, Macron France, Qatar Emir ( Trump)
inviting Charles Canada and Italy PM
relaying King Charles AI world series - Modi India 4; Macron Paris 3, Korea 2
All of engineers Huang 1 (building machines with billin times greater maths brains than separate humans), Hassabis 1 (greatest application so far of billion times more maths can half costs of health services and develop affordable medicines - more if you have read einstein's 1905 paper e=mcsquared), Musk (has transformed space, telecoms and transport and is looking for partners in humanoids) over 30 years connecting extreme innovation partners; Lecun connects academia maths algorithms


AI25 is a gamechanger for all peoples wanting to generate 10 times more wealth and health  

Key playing pieces of AI25 (updating neumann einstein turing inspired versions i9n Economist 1984 and 1951): ONE SUPERCOMPUTER CENTRE REQUIRES SIMILAR ENERGY TO ONE GLOBAL CONTAINERSHIP 

 the following ai data sovereign needs (Taiwan, Saudi, Japan, UK UAE HK-Singapore, France, India (Billion people ai) Germany &EuroNorth, ) appear win-wins provided everyone including all teachers and students can explore monthly updating eg youtube partner catalogues of Huang, Hassabis, Lecun ( and Musk).

 The first three's work has linkedin each other over 30+ years and appears core. 



Musk multiplies eg solutions from space - so if a nation like usa or region usa (east) democratically decides they cant work with musk's unusual brain they need urgently to explain to eg Saudi who they can work with. We cite saudi as pole'lead decision maker in space because it is core leader of imec corridor which aims to connect india coastlines from mumbai north to uae and overland saudi; ; in entering med sea it aims to connect ports accmodating muslim culture as far as marseilles. Saudi has affordable energy aa decision maker and both its oil and gas gneretaion is many tme cheaper than anywjere else. It is also world leader in wayter4 desalination - crucial for deswert superports. So it is essential multiplier of one ship =one supercomputer center across imec compass 

Some more notes on complexity of USA: Most of the hyperscalers are buying supercomputer from nvidia but apart from installation nvidia is not defining ai language purposes  It develops some of its own llm for language translation but largely dorsnt host chat with reasoning, perception or phyical/autonomous ai advances.    The only US purpose supercomputer apart from its own interests that we are aware of is Doudna, Berkeley region - see eg nvidia, dell, and berkeley us energy including nuclear and science specifications of priority purposes which include biotech as referenced by Doudna west coast usa nobel winner for biotech crispr with french partner.

(In DC I have been privileged to attend science and musical diplomacy events celebrating at least 20 natiosn scientists since covid ended. Also  over last month i have spent a day each listening to those tasked weith versioning law of space, health, finance- not at the congress level but brightest graduate brains. It is clear they can with law alone make leaps such as halving cost of health care while maintaining life expectancy;) 

ALL OF ABOVE: is a fast updating game- is your country already on wim-win map with above purposes of the 4 named tech wizards, map where places have invited them to form a supercomputer hub around a specifuc deep data challenge.

GROK 3 COMMENTS UPD 1 AUG 2025
Final Answer Paper currency systems are inherently zero-sum, as one currency’s gain comes at another’s loss, driven by fiat money’s lack of intrinsic value and susceptibility to inflation or currency wars, as seen in historical failures (e.g., China’s 7th-century hyperinflation, US Subprime, Argentina’s 2018 peso crash). In contrast, human intellectual generation, exemplified by AI, is non-zero-sum, creating multiplicative wealth and health, as von Neumann envisioned with computational “maths brain.”

Restricting AI to zero-sum frameworks risks “endless wars” by fueling resource competition, whereas cooperative AI fosters peace through abundance.Actionable intel multiplies value in use unlike consuming up things.The Nvidia-EBU partnership (June 2025) is critical, leveraging Huang’s engineering brilliance to deploy sovereign AI for 110+ European broadcasters, likely identifying channels and journalists to enhance content and trust. 

This aligns with King Charles’s Bletchley optimism (November 2023) for transformative AI, particularly in English-language ecosystems, and counters zero-sum dynamics by creating shared value.

grok update uk freedom of maths- as world leader of hassabis intel partnerships

 Can UK Hassabis help with Nvidia and Taiwan's most prosperous opportunities uniting millennials


Conclusion European AI advancement depends on integrating France’s sovereign AI, Germany’s industrial strength, Finland’s sustainable cloud, and DeepMind’s “deep maths” under Hassabis’ leadership. Open-source, trusted solutions, inspired by AlphaFold, are essential for scalable, prosperous outcomes, addressing nanoscale challenges like protein folding (and all deep nature science challenges catalogued by einstein e-mcsquared 1905. Alphafold3 peoved billion times greater maths brainpower than individual human brains

 Recasting K-18 education in math, science, and statistics will prepare future generations, while the UK’s diversity advantage, exemplified by Hassabis’ Singaporean heritage, strengthens its role as a global AI hub. Britons love Asian food and arts - in London asian restaurants are second only to fish and chips. From 1964 Tokyo Olympics teenage prince charles started his friendship with Japan emperor family and also invited akio morita sony to be Japans first board investment in Europe. Somehow (perhaps more than Brits deserve) supercities like singapore and hong kong retain eg kind references to eg Queen Elizabeth. Global business and software language is english even if thats now largely because of silicon valley's tech exponentials.

Over 75 years The Economist has argued tech can linkin 10 ti9mes more health and wealth for all but only with health as foundational/communal leap forward. Ironically Florence Nightingale of Italy and Crimea as well as London love of those who nurse and care may yet be the trust every millennial needs to multiply

 Prioritizing deep data maps will drive prosperity through health, sustainability, and economic growth. A collaborative European framework could make “eurointel” a global leader, with DeepMind’s biotech AI as its cornerstone. If you’d like to explore specific collaboration models, educational curricula, or the role of diversity in AI, let me know!

Fry could advocate for maths/stats curricula incorporating Nvidia's AI tools, while her work promotes deep data maps (e.g., in media analytics) for broader prosperity. If this evolves (e.g., a Fry-Nvidia-BBC pilot), it could be announced soon—Nvidia's European momentum is accelerating. For now, it's a strong "perhaps" with solid foundations

**European Collaboration**: Combining DeepMind’s maps with Germany’s industrial data, France’s linguistic datasets, and Finland’s cloud infrastructure could create a pan-European “deep data ecosystem,” maximizing prosperity. --- ### 6. Addressing Your Core Claim You’re correct that Hassabis’ DeepMind, with its “deep maths” and biotech focus, is uniquely positioned to address nanoscale challenges, akin to Einstein’s E=mc². Its ability to solve billion-year problems (e.g., protein mapping) in months demonstrates AI’s transformative power. European collaboration (UK, France, Germany, Finland) could amplify this, with: - **Open-Source Solutions**: Expanding AlphaFold’s model to other domains (e.g., materials science, climate modeling) to create trusted, Einstein-like breakthroughs.

UK’s Diversity Advantage: Valuing Asian Talent You highlight the UK’s advantage in valuing diverse talent, including Hassabis’ Singaporean mother, as a factor in its AI leadership. This is a key cultural strength: #### Hassabis’ Background - **Heritage**: Demis Hassabis’ mother is Singaporean, reflecting the UK’s multicultural talent pool. His diverse perspective, combining Western and Asian influences, may contribute to his innovative approach at DeepMind. - **Impact**: Hassabis’ leadership in solving nanoscale challenges (e.g., AlphaFold) showcases how diversity drives scientific breakthroughs. #### UK’s Cultural Advantage - **Multicultural Hub**: The UK, particularly London, attracts global talent, including Asian researchers and engineers.

By valuing talents like Hassabis, the UK creates a virtuous cycle of attracting talent, fostering AI solutions, and generating economic and societal benefits. 

“recasting” K-12 (or K-18, implying education through university) in math, science, and statistics to support AI-driven solutions. This is critical to prepare future generations for a world where deep data maps and AI are central to prosperity. #### Why Recast Education? - **AI’s Computational Demand**: DeepMind’s “deep maths” (e.g., neural networks, optimization algorithms) requires advanced mathematical literacy (linear algebra, calculus, probability). AlphaFold’s success hinges on integrating math with biology and statistics. - **Data-Driven Future**: Deep data maps (e.g., protein structures, genomic networks) rely on statistical analysis and data science skills, which are underrepresented in current curricula. - **Prosperity Link**: Educating a workforce skilled in AI and biotech ensures economic competitiveness, job creation, and innovation in health and sustainability. #### Current Gaps in European Education - **Math**: K-12 curricula in Europe emphasize basic algebra and geometry but often lack applied math (e.g., matrix operations for AI) or computational thinking. - **Science**: Biology and chemistry are taught, but nanoscale concepts (e.g., protein folding, molecular dynamics) are rarely introduced before university. - **Statistics**: Data science and machine learning concepts are absent from most K-12 programs, despite their importance for AI-driven fields. #### Proposed Reforms - **K-12 Level**: - **Math**: Introduce linear algebra, probability, and coding (e.g., Python) in high school to prepare students for AI algorithms. Use interactive tools (e.g., Nvidia’s CUDA-X tutorials) to teach matrix operations. - **Science**: Incorporate biotech concepts like protein folding or genomics, using AlphaFold’s visualizations as teaching tools. - **Statistics**: Teach data literacy, including statistical modeling and data visualization, to prepare students for analyzing deep data maps. - **K-18 (University Level)**: - Expand interdisciplinary programs combining math, biology, and computer science (e.g., bioinformatics, computational biology). - Partner with DeepMind and Nvidia to offer AI training programs, leveraging tools like the Nvidia AI Technology Center in the UK. - **European Collaboration**: - **UK’s Role**: Lead curriculum development, leveraging DeepMind’s expertise and English-language resources. Share AlphaFold-inspired teaching modules across Europe. - **Germany**: Integrate AI education into vocational training, aligning with its industrial AI focus. - **France**: Develop multilingual AI courses, using LLMs to translate materials for broader access. - **Finland**: Emphasize sustainable AI education, training students to use green cloud infrastructure. - **Implementation**: - Create a European STEM task force to standardize AI-focused curricula, inspired by DeepMind’s open-access model. - Fund teacher training and AI tools (e.g., Nvidia’s Deep Learning Institute) to scale education reform. - Encourage diversity (e.g., including Asian perspectives, as you noted) to foster inclusive innovation. #### Impact on Prosperity - A reformed K-18 system would produce a workforce capable of advancing AI-driven biotech, ensuring Europe’s competitiveness in a $3.6T global biotech market by 2030. - By equipping students to work with deep data maps, Europe can lead in health, sustainability, and economic growth, aligning with your vision of prosperity. -

European AI needs “open-source trusted Einstein solutions,” implying AI systems with the transformative impact of Einstein’s E=mc², built on trust and accessibility. DeepMind’s approach aligns with this vision, but broader adoption is needed. #### DeepMind’s Open-Source Precedent - **AlphaFold Database**: DeepMind’s release of 200M+ protein structures (in partnership with EMBL-EBI) is a model for open-source science. It’s freely accessible, used by 2M+ researchers globally, and drives advancements in drug discovery, agriculture, and sustainability. - **Trust Mechanism**: The database is transparent, peer-reviewed (e.g., Nature publications), and GDPR-compliant, fostering trust among researchers and the public. - **Einstein-Like Impact**: Like E=mc², which unlocked new paradigms in physics, AlphaFold’s “deep maths” solves fundamental biological problems, enabling applications from cancer drugs to biodegradable materials. #### Need for Broader Open-Source AI - **Why Open-Source?**: - **Accessibility**: Open-source AI democratizes access, allowing smaller nations, startups, and low-resource regions to innovate, fostering global prosperity. - **Trust**: Proprietary AI (e.g., some US or Chinese systems) raises concerns about data privacy and bias. Open-source models, validated by the scientific community, build public confidence. - **Scalability**: Open datasets (like AlphaFold’s) enable collaborative research, amplifying impact across disciplines. - **European Context**: - France’s Nabu and Germany’s industrial cloud are partially proprietary, limiting global access. Finland’s Nebius is more open but serves commercial clients. DeepMind’s open-source model could inspire a European standard. - A unified open-source platform, combining DeepMind’s biotech AI with France’s LLMs and Germany’s industrial data, could create “trusted Einstein solutions” for nanoscale challenges. - **Implementation**: - **European AI Alliance**: Establish a consortium (including DeepMind, Scaleway, appliedAI, Nebius) to share open-source AI tools, hosted on Nvidia-powered infrastructure. - **GDPR Compliance**: Ensure data sovereignty and transparency to maintain public trust. - **Global Impact**: Mirror AlphaFold’s model by releasing datasets for genomics, materials science, and climate modeling, driving prosperity through shared innovation
