A New National Purpose:
In a series of joint reports published since 2023, we have argued that the world is
undergoing the fastest technological and scientific revolution in human history. Given the
profound implications for our country, affecting everything from the economy and public
services to security and the UK’s place in the world, we have urged all political parties to
make responding to this technological revolution a New National Purpose. The challenge of
responding is so urgent, the risk of falling behind other countries so great, and the
opportunities so exciting, that nothing less will do.

falling behind so great and the opportunities so exciting that we urged all political parties to
make their response to it nothing short of creating a new national purpose.
