Joshua Nevett & Zoe Kleinman, Minister tells Turing AI institute to focus on defence, BBC, 4 July 2025
Science and Technology Secretary Peter Kyle has written to the UK’s national institute for artificial intelligence (AI) to tell its bosses to refocus on defence and security.
In a letter, Kyle said boosting the UK’s AI capabilities was “critical” to national security and should be at the core of the Alan Turing Institute’s activities.
