Important new report from @jujulemons & @ersatzben for @BritishProgress, setting out a better plan for the UK's Alan Turing Institute. In an age of geostrategic AI competition, we can't afford to be unfocused or complacent.
🚨 NEW REPORT 🚨 The Alan Turing Institute has visibly struggled, and is now at a critical juncture. The Secretary of State has intervened. What happens next? A new report for @britishprogress by me and @jujulemons sets out a plan: 🧵
it's been clear for a while that @turinginst is punching below its weight, but I've been waiting for someone to set out the detailed, constructive case for what should come next look no further. great work from @ersatzben and @jujulemons:

This is very real and very practical. My only surprise is that this is the first time it’s been set out so clearly.
🚧 A challenge for this Government, and for Britain: can we build a new runway in under four years? Our answer? YES, but only if ministers use their powers decisively. In a new paper, @LabourTogether & @BritishProgress set out a plan to let Britain fly 🛫 Here's how:
