Dr George Williamson CMG has been appointed as the new Chief Executive Officer of the Alan Turing Institute, the UK's national institute for data science and artificial intelligence. The announcement was made via the Institute's news channel. While the Turing Institute produces research and policy outputs that occasionally inform Australian AI governance discussions, a CEO appointment is an organisational matter with no immediate implications for APS practitioners.
