The AI Skills and Education Summit
The AI Skills and Education Summit
The UK's success in AI depends not only on the technology we build, but on the confidence and capability of the people who use it.
Learn| with AI
The UK's success in AI depends not only on the technology we build, but on the confidence and capability of the people who use it. The AI Skills and Education Summit brings together educators, employers, training providers and policymakers in London to tackle one of the defining challenges of our time: equipping everyone, at every stage of life, with the skills to thrive in an AI-enabled economy. From the classroom to the boardroom, this summit will explore how we build AI literacy, reform education and create pathways for lifelong learning, with the UKAI Skills Framework at its heart.

AI literacy and confidence for everyone
AI skills are no longer just for specialists. We will explore how to build broad AI literacy and confidence across the population, so that people understand what AI can and cannot do, use it safely and responsibly, and feel empowered rather than threatened. Sessions will look at practical approaches for employers, communities and public services, and how responsible AI principles can be built into everyday understanding.
Reforming education, from schools to universities
Preparing the next generation must start early. We will examine how AI can be introduced earlier in schools, what reform of the curriculum should look like, and how teachers can be supported to use AI well. Discussions will extend through further and higher education, exploring the role of apprenticeships, universities and new routes into AI careers that open opportunity to people from every background and every region.
Workforce retraining, professional skills and the UKAI Skills Framework
Millions of people already in work will need to adapt as AI reshapes their roles. We will look at workforce retraining, lifelong learning and how employers can invest in their people. Sessions will explore professional skills and certification, and how the UKAI Skills Framework provides a common language for AI capability across organisations, helping employers, educators and individuals recognise, develop and evidence the skills that matter.
