This session convenes parliamentarians, regional leaders and policy experts to examine the renewal of regional innovation, and expansion of access to #goodwork.

The panel will consider what safeguards fair standards are needed, and how local leaders can work together to deliver inclusive growth.

The creative industries are hugely significant to the UK's culture, economy, identity, wellbeing and entertainment. Building on grassroots and industry-led solutions, here's our policy brief for regulators on how to build better governance for AI - and protect these vital industries.

We will be taking the findings from this report to senior stakeholders across government and the publishing industry, looking for consensus - and hard action - on how best to balance innovation with the protection of this hugely important art form. Read Dr Clemi's blog for IFOW here:

Our research into the firm-level adoption of AI finds significant, divergent changes to people's jobs and experience of work through technological transformation. This case study report, built on hundreds of hours of worker interviews, reveals varying impacts of AI across a wide range of sectors.

To find out more about the current regulatory state of play in the UK and EU, please find our November newsletter below. You'll find updates on our leading AI sandbox work, as well as an excellent blog from Senior IFOW research fellow Phoebe Moore on the core unpredictability of AI systems.

Professor Neff highlighted the UK's unique potential to position itself as a leader in responsible AI regulation, while supporting innovation and the development of new technologies.

For the Review, we emphasised steering workplace technologies towards supporting wellbeing and good work - firms need processes of reflective technology adoption that are human-centred, right from design and development, through to deployment. Read about this in our Pissarides Review final report:

Our research shows that technology can have significant and divergent impacts on people's experiences of work. Working remotely can be great for wellbeing, but other technologies – such as surveillance tech and algorithmic management systems – are related to increased stress and anxiety.

The #FutureOfWork is still being written. Let's make sure it's a people-centred future, one that creates and sustains good work, and supports everyone in society to flourish through technological transformation. Happy Halloween!

This report shows that better work outcomes are possible, citing the 'creation of new jobs, augmentation of human skills and improvement in work quality' as positive impacts of high-involvement HR philosophies. These can 'unlock a positive attitude to tech adoption and the perceived benefits of AI'.

Deploying our cutting-edge research, we are able to work with firms to deploy AI approaches that are human-centred and evidence-based - and lead to better outcomes for both productivity and people. If you're interested in working with us, please do get in touch here:

Along with @cipd.bsky.social and @innovateuk.bsky.social, we're working to understand how organisational strategy, HR departments, and people development programmes can contribute to responsible and successful AI implementation.

In the forthcoming Stage 2 report with, we combine that research with findings from extensive interviews with careers guidance professionals and firms, reporting on hugely encouraging results from our reflective workshop pilot. Subscribe to our newsletter to hear first about publication:

In Stage 1 of this work, we spent time listening to young people talk about their motivations and thoughts on technology, helping us to better understand how motivation can be better directed towards future work - and thus help prevent AI and automation from entrenching existing inequalities.
