The Alan Turing Institute, as the UK's national institute for data science and artificial intelligence, plays an important part in driving forward advances in these technologies in order to change the world for the better. The Institute is named in honour of Alan Turing, whose pioneering work in theoretical and applied mathematics, engineering and computing is considered to have laid the foundations for modern-day data science and artificial intelligence. The Institute's goals are to undertake world-class research, apply its research to real-world problems, driving economic impact and societal good, lead the training of a new generation of scientists, and shape the public conversation around data and algorithms.After launching in 2015 with government funding from EPSRC and five founding universities, the Institute has grown an extensive network of university partners from across the UK and launched a number of major partnerships with industry, public and third sector. Today it is home to more than 500 researchers, a rapidly growing team of in house research software engineers and data scientists and a business team.Following its initial phase of funding, EPSRC provided a short-term commitment to ensure the continuity of core activity in the current model. Since then, EPSRC has been working with the Institute, and across UKRI, to develop the Institute's role at the centre of a potential UKRI National AI Programme. As part of the transition into this role, EPSRC are providing additional funding in 2021/22 to allow the Institute to build the foundations of Turing 2.0 and invest in activities that support the evolution of the Turing to a more open, national Institute in data science and AI.

英国国家数据科学与人工智能研究所作为艾伦·图灵研究所（Alan Turing Institute）在推动这些技术的前进进步方面起着重要的作用，以使世界变得更好。该研究所以纪念艾伦·图灵（Alan Turing）的名字命名，他在理论和应用数学，工程和计算方面的开创性工作被认为是现代数据科学和人工智能的基础。该研究所的目标是进行世界一流的研究，将其研究应用于现实世界中的问题，推动经济影响和社会利益，领导对新一代科学家的培训，并塑造了围绕数据和算法的公众对话。在2015年启动后，政府资助EPSRC和五个基金会的政府资助，该研究所的广泛群体与UK的广泛群体一起，分别是UK的广泛群体。部门。如今，它是500多名研究人员的所在地，这是一个迅速发展的家庭研究软件工程师和数据科学家团队以及一个业务团队。遵循其初始资金阶段，EPSRC提供了短期承诺，以确保当前模型中核心活动的连续性。从那时起，EPSRC一直与该研究所以及整个乌克里合作，在潜在的乌克里国家AI计划的中心发展了该研究所的角色。作为向该职位过渡的一部分，EPSRC在2021/22提供了额外的资金，以允许该研究所建立Turing 2.0的基础，并投资于支持Turing到更开放的数据科学领域的更开放的国家研究所的活动。
