"The chief executive of the UK's leading artificial intelligence institute is stepping down after a staff revolt and government calls for a strategic overhaul. Jean Innes has led the Alan Turing Institute since 2023, but her position has come under pressure amid widespread discontent within the organisation and a demand from the institute's biggest funder, the UK government, for a change in direction."
"Innes said on Thursday: It has been a great honour to lead the UK's national institute for data science and artificial intelligence, implementing a new strategy and overseeing significant organisational transformation. With that work concluding, and a new chapter starting for the Institute, now is the right time for new leadership and I am excited about what it will achieve."
