Published: 8/11/2025

Staff at the UK's Turing AI Institute raised concerns of a collapse due to potential funding withdrawal by Technology Secretary Peter Kyle, with complaints of misuse of public funds and toxic internal culture. The Institute is urged to refocus on defense research, facing a potential overhaul of leadership. A government grant of £100m is at risk, prompting internal discontent and calls for realigning with national security objectives.
