A poll by City Hall found that over half of London workers expect AI to impact their job in some way in the next 12 months."
"Neither is an inevitability, but one thing's for sure: we mustn't drift, absentmindedly, into a future we didn't ask for and don't want.

AI is presented as having potential to transform public services, boost productivity, and address complex challenges such as cancer care and the climate crisis.
