The UK government is committing £61m ($80m) to boost technology initiatives across the country. But it has also been criticised for not doing enough to help young people get into work. These are two areas that many fear will be irreparably impacted with the political changes, and so the Prime Minister was careful to call them out specifically in her remarks today. Other projects being funded include an effort to introduce more AI into public services, and a programme to train teenagers to identify and prevent cyber attacks. The government will also double the number of work visas issued to the best international talent, including those in the tech field.
