The UK government is launching a program to hire 25 scientists and technologists with expertise in AI, semiconductors, and quantum computing. These professionals will work part-time at the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) to help shape technology policy and innovate within public services. The initiative aims to make the UK a leader in these fields while strengthening digital resilience and fostering an inclusive and digitally empowered society. The partnership between government, academia, and industry is expected to address significant policy challenges and drive growth through innovative solutions.
The fellowship creates a partnership between government and the tech sector, helping address policy challenges and ensuring innovation benefits citizens and businesses.
Science minister Patrick Vallance emphasized that by embedding expert knowledge in government, the UK can tackle key challenges in digital resilience, AI, and quantum technologies.
