As the UK government prepares to launch hundreds of skilled tech jobs, Steven George-Hilley emphasizes the crucial role of policymakers in unlocking the nation's tech potential. He highlights the positive engagement of the Labour Party's tech-focused ministers, noting the challenges young people face in the job market, especially due to AI impacts. However, he remains optimistic about new opportunities for graduates with tech skills. The government’s recent significant investments in R&D showcase a strong commitment to upskilling the workforce and bolstering the tech industry.
Our agency regularly hosts policy breakfasts and lunches with key figures in the science and tech team, and so far, we've been very impressed by what we've seen.
Despite tumbling poll ratings and major controversies over their handling of the economy, international aid and welfare, I'm happy to say that the government's approach to AI and tech has been refreshingly optimistic.
