The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, what steps he is taking to help improve AI skills in the workforce.

Answered by Feryal Clark

Lifelong learning and adaptability are key to ensuring everyone can prosper in an increasingly technology-driven world.

Matt Clifford’s AI Opportunities Action Plan outlines the steps the UK must take to build a strong, diverse talent pipeline, realising AI benefits across sectors and the government has agreed to take forward its recommendations.

Skills England will work closely with DSIT and the Industrial Skills Council. They will bring together businesses, training partners, and unions with national and local government to assess the country’s AI skills needs and map pathways to fill them.
