Reacting to today’s Spring Budget, Laura Webb, Public Sector Technology Transformation Lead at KPMG UK, said:

"Artificial intelligence has the potential to transform our public sector and the Government has focused its investment on the areas where it can have the greatest impact. To ensure the long-term success of these new initiatives, they must be accompanied by the necessary training to enable workers to develop the skills needed to use AI effectively and get the most value out of this technology."
