The House of Lords is advising the prime minister to take “decisive action” and set out a cross-governmental plan to tackle digital exclusion, as up to 10 million adults in the UK now lack basic digital skills — like using a computer to surf the web, edit word documents, or even access online banking.
In its Digital Exclusion report released on Thursday, the Communications and Digital Committee warns that the Government lacks a creditable plan to tackle both digital exclusion and digital poverty, despite wanting the UK to become an artificial intelligence (AI) tech superpower.
