Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology:

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to encourage more workers and small businesses to adopt artificial intelligence in their day-to-day operations.

As set out in the AI Opportunities Action Plan, we are committed to the widespread diffusion of AI across the UK. To ensure workers feel confident using AI in their day-to-day operations, we are partnering with 11 companies to train 7.5 million UK workers with essential AI skills by the end of the decade, ensuring the UK workforce can thrive in an AI-enabled economy. We have also recently announced an AI Adoption Fund alongside regional business support. These measures will provide businesses with the targeted expertise and skills they need to integrate AI into their business models, fuelling growth.
