据IT之家报道，英国政府与微软近日达成一项重大合作，英国政府表示，微软将在未来三年内向英国投资25亿英镑（当前约226.5亿元人民币），这是该公司迄今为止在英国的最大单笔投资。这一举措旨在促进英国人工智能（AI）领域的发展，标志着英国政府与微软联手推动人工智能发展的重要一步。
据了解，此次投资中的25亿英镑将用于支持微软在英的研究和开发，特别是在人工智能领域的先进技术。这一投资金额创下了微软在英国历史上的最高纪录，并彰显出英国政府希望借助微软的技术实力，提升英国在人工智能领域的国际竞争力的决心。

根据英国政府的介绍，此次投资将有助于推动英国人工智能领域的研究与应用，促进数字经济发展，以及提升英国在全球科技竞争中的地位。同时，这也是英国政府“脱欧”后，加强国内经济和科技发展的具体举措。

Meanwhile, it also represents a specific initiative for strengthening the domestic economy and technology in the UK after its departure from the European Union.
