House of Lords AI summit at London Tech Week warns of 'skills cliff edge' threatening UK's competitive future
"The discussions must be grounded in real-world cyber risk scenarios if we're to future-proof UK critical infrastructure."
"AI is a critical enabler in unlocking digital evidence and significantly reducing investigation times, greatly aiding police forces and combating national security threats."
"There's a lack of a united vision and strategy when it comes to AI. Most organizations are still experimenting-there's no 'one size fits all'."
During London Tech Week, a summit at the House of Lords raised concerns about a "skills cliff edge" in the UK workforce as AI transforms job roles. Experts from various sectors warned that without rapid efforts to develop an AI-literate workforce and implement ethical AI practices, the UK risks lagging behind global competitors. They also highlighted increasing cyber threats associated with AI, emphasizing the need for a cohesive strategy to ensure data integrity and safety while leveraging AI's capabilities, especially in vital areas such as financial services and digital forensics.
