The APPG for the Future of Work hosted a panel discussion on the challenges and opportunities facing the UK’s creative industries. Generating over £100bn annually and growing at over one and a half times the rate of the rest of the economy, the creative industries hold great potential for the UK economy and its productivity.
Yet as AI, digital platforms, and changing work patterns rapidly reshape the sector, how can we ensure fair pay, job security, and sustainable careers for creative workers? What more can be done to increase freelance protections and ensure that the creative industries continue to grow and thrive?
This session brought together policymakers, industry leaders, and creative professionals to explore key issues such as freelancer rights, skills development, and the role of technology in shaping the future of creative work.
It presented findings from the 'Crafting Responsive Assessments of AI and Tech-Impacted Futures (CREAATIF)' research project, a collaboration between Queen Mary University of London, the Institute for the Future of Work, and The Alan Turing Institute, working in partnership with four major unions: Equity, the Broadcasting, Entertainment, Communications and Theatre Union (BECTU), the Musicians’ Union, and the Society of Authors.
