The UK paid £4.1 million for a bookmarks siteThe UK Government recently unveiled its ‘AI Skills Hub’, which wants to provide 10 million workers with AI skills by 2030.
The main site was delivered by PwC for the low, low price of.. £4.1 million (~$5,657,000).
PwC itself also admits that the site does not properly meet accessibility standards:Even for those without a disability, the lack of here in this regard means that the site can be very confusing and buggy as a result.
One thing it mentions is fair use:(credits for the photo)Except that fair use is not a thing in the UK - that’s a US concept!
The UK uses what’s known as “fair dealing”, which is more restrictive than fair use, so the details here are plain wrong.
