The AI Research Resource (AIRR) is a UK government initiative providing AI-specialised high-performance computing capacity to public researchers, academia, and small and medium-sized enterprises. Announced as part of the AI Opportunities Action Plan in January 2025, the government committed £1 billion to expand AIRR capacity by at least 20x by 2030. The programme operates through two compute clusters — Isambard-AI at the University of Bristol and Dawn at the University of Cambridge.

The Action Plan will consider how the UK can:(a) Build an AI sector that can scale and be competitive globally.(b) Adopt AI to enhance growth and productivity, and support delivery of the government's five stated missions.(c) Use AI in government to transform citizens' experiences of interacting with the state and boosting take-up in the wider economy.(d) Strengthen the enablers of AI adoption, such as data, infrastructure, public procurement processes and policy, and regulatory reforms.
