The Secretary of State for Education (Bridget Phillipson)
The Labour Government are at the forefront of change and, as I said to the Bett conference last week, we are determined to ensure that “AI will be a positive, radical, modernising force for good in the lives of working people.” The Department for Education is a member of the AI working group collaborating across Government to share thinking and expertise as we develop future policy.
