King’s has received a Turing Network Development Award from The Alan Turing Institute, following an application to its inaugural network funding programme. 

King’s application demonstrated its proven research excellence, having long been at the forefront of work on AI and data science, from foundational computational work to application in healthcare and humanities, as well as addressing the social and legal implications of these technologies.

The Turing Network Development awards, which have been made to 24 universities across the UK, are aimed at cementing links with The Alan Turing Institute and supporting the development of communities of experts in AI and data science. Commenting on the award, Professor Michael Luck of the Department of Informatics, who leads various AI projects at King’s, said:

King’s work on the Turing Network Development award is being coordinated by its newly established Institute for Artificial Intelligence. For more information on the award and King’s activities, contact us at: ai-institute@kcl.ac.uk
