Speaking at the start of London’s Tech Week, with a line-up of speakers including Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, Starmer said: “In this global race, we can be an AI maker and not an AI taker.”
Ahead of the event bringing together industry giants, Starmer announced a government-industry partnership to train 7.5 million workers in AI skills, including in using chatbots and large language models to boost productivity.
Google EMEA region President Debbie Weinstein called it a “crucial initiative” essential for developing AI skills, unlocking AI-powered growth “and cementing the UK’s position as an AI leader”.
The UK has a “responsibility” to “harness this unprecedented opportunity and to use it to improve the lives of working people”, Starmer added.

“We are putting the power of AI into the hands of the next generation -- so they can shape the future, not be shaped by it,“ Starmer said in a press release before the event.
He called it a “step change in how we train homegrown talent for the AI age”.
Starmer also announced a “commitment from Nvidia to partner on a new AI talent pipeline”, including through expanding a Nvidia lab in Bristol, southwest England.
It was growing 30 times faster than the rest of the economy, according to government figures from 2023 -- an “incredible” rate, according to Starmer.
Other speakers at the tech conference include the CEO of Mistral AI, Arthur Mensch, the UK’s Science Secretary Peter Kyle and Markus Villig, founder of ride-hailing app Bolt.
