Latvia to review structure of its Artificial Intelligence Centre

Structural changes are once again being discussed at Latvia's Artificial Intelligence Centre (MIC), according to the Latvian public broadcaster LSM. The centre is young, yet its leadership has already changed once, and now the question of its internal structure has returned.

How the centre developed

MIC was formally established last April. When it actually started working is described as a separate question. The centre's first head, Natālija Čerņecka, was appointed in October last year.

Change of leadership

Čerņecka stayed in the post for four months. Her vision for MIC and that of the centre's council turned out not to match. Guna Puce then took over as head. She has not yet worked a full year in the role.

What is happening now

The way the centre is organised is being reviewed again, with talks about new structural changes. LSM's headline quotes the assessment that capacity "absolutely isn't pulling right now". The source does not say what exactly is planned or when any changes could take effect.
