Can the UK Build the AI Future It Wants?
Monday, 2 November, 2026
Want to see how an episode gets made? We’ve just launched our Jimmy’s Jobs Slack channel for students, with opportunities to shadow our production team. Join us and tell us which part of the job you’d want to see firsthand → https://form.typeform.com/to/CdBAfNrp Why did Peter Kyle, former Business Secretary, want to light up Piccadilly Circus when a British company hired its 5,000th employee? Why is Salesforce giving Slack to six million UK students? How can AI give a ward nurse back an hour a day? We took Jimmy's Jobs of the Future to Salesforce's AIforce World Tour in London to find out. Can Britain build a trillion-dollar company? Peter and Salesforce's Kendall Collins, CEO of Missionforce and Government Cloud, join Jimmy to debate what it would take, from the role of government to a cultural mind shift around failure and AI as an economic growth driver. Zahra Bahrololoumi, Salesforce UKI CEO, makes the case for why students should get hands-on with Slack and the AI tools they’ll use at work before their first job, not after. Then the front line. Erika Bannerman talks through how an AI assistant at NHS Shared Business Services answers NHS staff questions instantly, cutting the admin that pulls nurses away from patients. And Colin Foley, Head of Consular Services at the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office, shares how his team is exploring AI to take routine work off their plate, so they can bring more judgment and empathy to Brits in trouble overseas. ********** Got an idea for our next episode?
