Russ Shaw reports from day three of London Tech Week<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Day three of London Tech Week focused on a question that sits at the heart of the AI revolution: how is technology reshaping the way we work, learn and build businesses over the coming decade?<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After two days dominated by discussions around investment, infrastructure and adoption, attention turned towards the people behind the technology. Across Olympia, founders, business leaders, educators and policymakers explored how organisations are adapting to AI and what the next generation of workplaces may look like.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sessions such as The Workplace in 2031: What Will AI-First Organisations Look Like Five Years from Now? captured the mood of the day. The conversation around artificial intelligence is becoming increasingly practical. Businesses are now focused on implementation, workforce readiness and how to integrate new technologies into everyday operations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The day began with the Global Tech Advocates Leaders breakfast fringe event, bringing together leaders from across our international network, including representatives from India, the US, China, Korea, Southeast Asia, Nordics, Africa and the UK \u2013 all sharing the varying global perspectives and opportunities about deployment of AI.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the main stages at Olympia, a recurring theme was the importance of skills. As AI becomes embedded across more sectors of the economy, digital literacy and workforce development are moving higher up the agenda. Discussions throughout the morning highlighted the value of introducing AI concepts earlier, helping people build confidence with new technologies and ensuring that businesses have access to the talent they need to grow.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The UK has established itself as one of the world\u2019s leading AI ecosystems, supported by world-class universities, strong research institutions and a growing concentration of technology companies. Maintaining that position will depend not only on innovation and investment, but also on ensuring people have the opportunity to participate in the next phase of technological change.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An early preview of Deloitte\u2019s latest AI Workforce Survey highlighted an interesting dynamic emerging inside organisations. In many cases, employees are adopting AI tools more quickly than formal processes and governance structures can adapt. The challenge for business leaders is creating environments where innovation can flourish while maintaining trust, transparency and accountability.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"read-more read-more--has-media read-more-auto\">\n<div class=\"read-more__content\">\n<h5 class=\"read-more__label\">Read more<\/h5>\n<h4 class=\"read-more__title\"><a class=\"read-more__link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cityam.com\/london-tech-week-day-one-ai-talk-has-come-back-down-to-earth\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">London Tech Week day one: AI talk has come back down to earth<\/a><\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Throughout the day, there was a growing recognition that the future of work will not be defined by technology alone. Success will depend on culture, leadership, education and a willingness to adapt.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Prime Minister\u2019s announcement earlier in the week of a new AI Jobs Centre pilot reflected this broader conversation. Bringing together government, employers and technology companies around skills development represents a practical step towards supporting workers as adoption accelerates across the economy.\u00a0 The newly announced AI Economics Institute (AIEI) by the UK government will focus on measuring the impact of AI on the labour market and productivity.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Few cities bring together technology companies, investors, universities, policymakers and employers at the scale seen during London Tech Week. That combination allows conversations about AI to extend beyond technical capability and into wider questions about productivity, skills and economic growth.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Day three offered a valuable reminder that behind every discussion about artificial intelligence are the people who will ultimately use it, shape it and benefit from it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As London Tech Week moves into the second half, the focus on talent, skills and the future of work felt like a natural progression in the week\u2019s wider conversation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The technologies may be evolving rapidly, but building a workforce ready to make the most of them remains one of the most exciting opportunities ahead.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><a href=\"https:\/\/londontechweek.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Russ Shaw is a founding member of London Tech Week<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<aside class=\"read-more read-more--has-media read-more-auto\">\n<div class=\"read-more__content\">\n<h5 class=\"read-more__label\">Read more<\/h5>\n<h4 class=\"read-more__title\"><a class=\"read-more__link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cityam.com\/britains-first-sovereign-ai-model-secures-blue-chip-backing-as-starmer-unveils-400m-plan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Britain\u2019s first sovereign AI model secures blue-chip backing as Starmer unveils \u00a3400m plan<\/a><\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<footer class=\"article-footer \">\n<div class=\"tags-collection article-footer__tags-collection\">\n<h2 class=\"screen-reader-text\">Similarly tagged content:<\/h2>\n<nav class=\"tags \">\n<h3 class=\"tags__title\">Sections<\/h3>\n<\/nav>\n<nav class=\"tags \">\n<h3 class=\"tags__title\">Categories<\/h3>\n<\/nav>\n<nav class=\"tags \">\n<h3 class=\"tags__title\">People &amp; Organisations<\/h3>\n<\/nav>\n<\/div>\n<\/footer>\n<\/div>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cityam.com\/london-tech-week-day-three-workers-are-adopting-ai-quicker-than-their-bosses\/\">Source link <\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/dominiclevent.com\/contact-us\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-14\" src=\"https:\/\/dominiclevent.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/footer-300x100.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dominiclevent.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/footer-300x100.png 300w, https:\/\/dominiclevent.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/footer-150x50.png 150w, https:\/\/dominiclevent.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/footer.png 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/d\/u\/1\/embed?mid=1w4tN9mf5kVdBXUXTq2KvwE23NmpUzEna\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\"><\/iframe><\/center>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: 0px #ffffff none;\" src=\"https:\/\/calendar.google.com\/calendar\/embed?src=sc635csnrm8h9s9lq0cad6vkss@group.calendar.google.com\" name=\"myiFrame\" width=\"600px\" height=\"3px\" frameborder=\"1\" marginwidth=\"0px\" marginheight=\"0px\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div>\n<div><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.dominiclevent.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Business_Solicitors_London.jpg\" width=\"600\" \/><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div>Dominic Levent Solicitors<\/div>\n<div>Email: Enquiries@dominiclevent.com<\/div>\n<div>Phone: 020 8347 6640<\/div>\n<div>Url: https:\/\/www.dominiclevent.com<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: none;\">cash, check, credit card, invoice<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div>1345 High Rd<\/div>\n<div>London, London N20 9HR<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wednesday 10 June 2026 7:13 pm How is AI changing the future of the workplace?
