FSSC asked to report on disruptive technology

HM Treasury has asked the Financial Services Skills Commission to produce a report on the skills needed to make sure the UK workforce can lead the way in digitisation, innovation and adoption. It wants the FSSC to consider AI and other disruptive technologies, to establish which technologies could have a significant impact on the sector over the next 5-10 years, and how they could affect growth potential and productivity. It should consider what skills the financial services sector will need for deploying those technologies and how to build them.

Treasury has asked for the report at the latest by mid-2027.
