Advai announces High Powered Compute (HPC) Partnership with Edinburgh Parallel Compute Centre (EPCC) to evaluate AI safety. This partnership helps us rises to meet the significant computational demands required for certain types of AI safety testing. 

EPCC, powered by a £110m investment in the Edinburgh International Data Facility (EIDF) as part of the Edinburgh & SE Scotland City Region Deal, is providing its state-of-the-art AI infrastructure to support Advai's AI Safety research. We will use this computational power to further progress research in AI safety by using its 'Adversarial AI' technology to identify vulnerabilities in systems like Large Language Models (LLMs). As an early commercial user, we provide valuable feedback.

Who are Advai?

Established in 2020, Advai is a leading UK Deep Tech specialist focussed on AI Safety and Security. We test and evaluate Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning systems, enabling our customers to assure their Large Language Models, Computer Vision and other AI-enabled technologies for deployment in business-critical or regulated environments. 

Our tooling stress-tests, measures and improves AI robustness and real world performance, finding reliable operating boundaries and creating early warning systems to predict natural or adversarial issues. As one of the most successful companies to have come through the Defence and Security Accelerator, we work with both the UK Ministry of Defence and a range of safety-conscious enterprises.

Advai is a proud partner of the UK Government’s Frontier AI Taskforce, the research unit behind the world's first global AI Safety Summit.
