First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out, because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out, because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out, because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me…and there was no one left to speak for me - Martin Niemoller.
We should all be reminded that injustice only succeeds when people wait until it’s their turn to face it.
No one is safe until we’re all safe!
The number of people using AI in this country is growing rapidly. Think about the work these tools are already doing. How many people would have to be hired to do the same tasks? Quite a lot.
AI is already here, and people are using it, even if only on a relatively small scale. Now imagine what the situation will look like in the next five years.
So, what are we doing as a government to invest in such an important technology before it begins replacing jobs on a much larger scale? Because whether we like it or not, AI will replace some jobs. At the same time, it will create new opportunities. The real question is whether we are preparing our people to adapt and benefit from that change.
