Alan Turing Institute plans revamp in face of criticism and technological change

Although much of the defence and security work is confidential or classified, it also has a public face in the form of the Turing Centre for Emerging Technology and Security, which publishes research.

Its most recent work, carried out with the US-based Special Competitive Studies Project, called for the UK and US national security communities to invest in co-ordinated data collection and AI development. This would help to warn of coming crises and find ways to stabilise conflict.
