£48 million funding boost to spearhead new research

Published: 19 December 2018

The Alan Turing Institute will spearhead new cutting-edge data science and artificial intelligence research after a £48 million government funding boost.

UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) has today announced funding for two major new research programmes in artificial intelligence, both led in collaboration with The Alan Turing Institute.

The first programme will undertake and apply data science and artificial intelligence research with the goal to transform four key areas of science, industry and government, and the second is a pioneering collaboration with the British Library and other partners using data science and artificial intelligence to analyse the human impact of the industrial revolution.

The programmes will be funded through the Strategic Priorities Fund , which is delivered by UKRI in order to drive an increase in high quality multi- and interdisciplinary research and innovation.
