Comment by Skills England

Executive agency providing evidence and advice on England’s skills and labour-market needs.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is having a profound impact on the UK economy and labour market, but the speed of adoption and exactly how it will affect employment is still uncertain. AI is likely to automate or augment aspects of many occupations, changing task composition and processes. At the same time, AI is also likely to create new opportunities and occupations.
