UK Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology Liz Kendall declared that artificial intelligence (AI) skills training will be made available to every worker across the UK. This initiative is projected to contribute an extra £140 billion annually to the UK's economy. The UK is set to roll out an online course, developed in collaboration with the industry, targeting all adults. The primary focus of this course is to equip participants with the skills to utilize AI tools for task management.

Through AI training, individuals will be able to concentrate on more high-value work, while employers will gain greater confidence in their employees' capabilities. A report by the World Economic Forum underscores the pressing need for skill transformation. It emphasizes that systematic AI training is essential for individuals to stay competitive, for nations to adapt to technological advancements, and to sustain economic dynamism.
