Down at the #AlanTuringInstitute today to give an afternoon workshop on ion channel and action potential modelling at cvd-net.com/events/cardi... . Great questions from a very engaging audience. Thanks to @michaelclerx.com and Frankie Patten-Elliott who helped deliver the session.

Very pleased to have co-authored this @theturing.bsky.social paper with Natasha Karner exploring the possible role of AI in Battlefield Decision Making in the #britisharmy.

‘Shut it down and start again’: staff disquiet as Alan Turing Institute faces identity crisis Whistleblower warns UK’s top AI research body in danger of collapse due to threats over funding and new direction

The problem with the #AlanTuringInstitute is less an internal "identity crisis" and more a struggle vs. #Labour Government & #UK establishment, who want ATI to be an #AI for national security & defence body instead of an interdisciplinary AI research institute.

In the complaint, the staff said Kyle's letter had triggered "a crisis in governance". ‘The government's £100m grant was "now at risk of being withdrawn, a move that could lead to the institute's collapse", the complaint said.

The Rapid Rise of Generative AI: Assessing risks to safety and security This CETaS Research Report presents the findings from a major project exploring the implications of generative AI for national security. It is based on extensive engagement with more than 50 experts across government, academia, industry, and civil society, and represents the most comprehensive UK-based study to date on the national security implications of generative AI. The research found that generative AI could significantly amplify a range of digital, physical and political security risks. With the rapid proliferation of generative AI tools across the economy, the national security community needs to shift its mindset to account for all the unintentional or incidental ways in which generative AI can pose security risks, in addition to intentionally malicious uses. The report provides recommendations to effectively mitigate the security risks posed by generative AI, calling for a new multi-layered, socio-technical approach to system evaluation.
