Labour's Technology Secretary, Liz Kendall, has stated that the party aims to ensure artificial intelligence benefits workers rather than displacing them. She highlighted the government's £187 million TechFirst AI training scheme, which will prioritize disadvantaged schools, and new skills camps for young people at risk of long-term unemployment. Kendall acknowledged that AI will change the job market but downplayed fears of mass job losses, emphasizing the creation and evolution of roles. AI
