Answer

My department’s AI Strategic Direction is a ‘direction of travel’ document that gives agency to DfE business areas, partner organisations, and stakeholders, to develop a response to the recommendations in the Matrix ‘AI and the Future of Work’ Report. It has been shared widely and is available on the department’s website.
