Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology:

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to attract more AI experts to the UK.

The AI Opportunities Action Plan will outline steps needed to support the growth of the AI sector, including training and attracting top AI talent. This will build on existing programmes including the AI and Data Science Masters Conversion courses. This year over 4,000 students are expected to graduate from these courses, and historically 90% employed graduates from these programmes work in a role related to AI or data science.
