Artificial Intelligence: Graduates

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of AI on the graduate job market.

Answered by Feryal Clark

We are already witnessing AI’s impact on the labour market: transforming the workplace, demanding new skills and changing the landscape. We remain mindful of this impact and its effect on the UK workforce, whilst working to harness the benefits that AI can bring.

As part of our response to the Action Plan, DSIT will be working closely with Skills England to develop a clear assessment of the country’s skills needs for AI, and map pathways by which they can be filled. We expect to publish our first assessment before the autumn and periodic publications thereafter.
