Artificial intelligence (AI)
Artificial intelligence and machine learning are already having a huge impact on our lives. The ability for digital technologies to offer information or training that has been tailored to your specific requirements and reacts to the choices you make creates some very interesting opportunities for how we learn and adopt digital.
Home assistants and home hubs
With the emergence of smart in-home technologies like Google Home and Amazon Echo, there is a real opportunity to make learning and finding information much more accessible. Whether it’s research for a school project, learning a new language or instructions on how the use a digital device, these spoken work technologies have the potential to offer access to guidance and learning to all, even if their digital skills are limited.
Data and intelligence
Understanding where support is needed or who to offer support to allows us to target our limited resources in the right areas and for the people who need it the most. Good data and intelligence provides an insight into how communities develop and which may need our support.
