Risks and opportunities to the sustainability of data centres in the UK

Environmental Audit Committee: Call for Evidence

Back to projects

UCL’s Policy Impact Unit provides professional policy engagement expertise across the Faculty of Engineering, collaborating with leading researchers to help incorporate evidence into the policy decisions.

Neuroware is an Innovation & Knowledge Centre (IKC) led by UCL, with a consortium of leading UK institutions.1 Neuroware connects industry partners, researchers, investors, policymakers and networks nationally and globally to accelerate the development, commercialisation and adoption of neuromorphic hardware. Our consortium of experts makes us uniquely placed to contribute to this Call for Information. This submission will highlight the benefits of neuromorphic computing and prove it is an effective tool for enabling a more efficient and secure AI ecosystem.

This submission has been prepared by Latisha Gordon, Policy Adviser at the UCL Policy Impact Unit and Neuroware Innovation & Knowledge Centre. Consultation was undertaken with the following academic experts: 

Professor Tony Kenyon, Director of NeuroWare & Professor of Nanoelectronics & Nanophotonic Materials, Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering, UCL 

Professor Steve Furber, Professor Emeritus, Department of Computer Science, The University of Manchester
