Recent data from The TalentLMS 2026 L&D Benchmark Report reveals a 19-point perception gap on AI learning support. 83% of HR leaders believe they actively support AI learning, but only 64% of employees agree.

The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) said that Anthropic will help the government to build and pilot an assistant that will help support people in specific situations, starting with "providing custom career advice and help to lock down a job". The pilot is planned to start later this year. Earlier in the week Anthropic's chief executive Dario Amodei published a magnum opus detailing among other things how he expects AI to disrupt to the job market.
