A technology as transformative as AI will inevitably have an impact on the UK labour market. The Get Britain Working White Paper sets out how we will address key labour market challenges and spread opportunity.

A key element of the AI Opportunities Action Plan, and our broader work on education, is focused on ensuring citizens have the right skills to adopt and take advantage of AI capabilities.

We are working across government to understand and address the challenges and opportunities that AI presents.
