The question

Answered by Feryal Clark

The AI Opportunities Action Plan will ensure the UK builds a strong, diverse talent pipeline, realising AI benefits across sectors.

Through Skills England, work is underway to map out how we will meet this challenge, including identifying how new flexibilities in the skills offer can deliver on the aims of driving opportunity. Lifelong learning and adaptability will be key as we set people from all backgrounds up to prosper in an increasingly technology-driven world.

Skills England will bring businesses, training partners and unions together with national and local government to meet industry workforce digital and AI skills needs.
