There was a previous Turing Institute in Glasgow doing AI research (meaning, back then rules-based systems, but IIRC my professor was doing some work with them on neural networks), which hit the end of the road in 1994. There was some interesting stuff spun out of there, but it's a whole different institute.
- twak 2y agoThe Turing had an interesting approach to naming, not only stealing the Glasgow group's name, but also choosing the initials 'ATI' (in 2015...). It's recently struggling for relevance. https://www.ft.com/content/6bfea441-e16c-499a-a887-69f735c29389 https://www.ft.com/content/6bfea441-e16c-499a-a887-69f735c29...
