Helping Brits to make AI work for them

AI has the potential to benefit every sector in the UK, from helping teachers craft engaging lesson plans to improving small businesses’ customer service, and even helping construction workers better manage building sites.New analysis from Public First shows the scale of this potential, revealing that almost two-thirds of jobs across the UK (61%) will be significantly enhanced by AI. Whilst every sector will benefit in some way from AI, office workers and people in roles involving administrative tasks are likely to be transformed most profoundly.This presents an unparalleled opportunity to transform the world of work. Previous research from Public First revealed that setting up Britain’s workforce for success could unlock over £400bn in AI-powered economic growth by 2030. Empowering people to use AI to get the most out of their careers and businesses would both improve the working lives of millions, and unlock productivity and growth worth billions.It starts with local pilotsTo help uncover ways to rapidly and radically accelerate the uptake of AI skills and connect more people to the benefits of this technology, Google is launching the AI Works initiative, partnering with a union, small and medium-size businesses and Multi Academy Trusts (MATs) in the education sector, to pilot different approaches to boost AI skills and adoption.The first-of-its-kind initiative will see Google work with Community Union, Enterprise Nation and their network of small businesses including Grind Coffee, as well as multi-academy trusts Academies Enterprise Trust and Leo Academy Trust, to shape and test different approaches involving almost 1,500 people. It will aim to encourage more Brits to get working with AI.
