At RepresentAI, our mission is simple: make AI accessible to everyone, not just the people who already have a seat at the table. Since launching, we’ve offered free training, workshops, and expert insights to people who might not otherwise find their way into the AI conversation. In 2025, we reached 1,500 people. This year, we intend to double that. But ambition needs the right partnerships to scale, and that is exactly why we are so excited about joining forces with InvestingIN.
The problem we are solving together
The data is sobering. According to a 2026 analysis cited by InvestingIN, 50 to 55% of jobs will be reshaped by AI, with entry-level and administrative roles most likely to be held by women, ethnic minority employees, disabled workers, and younger and older workers bearing the brunt of that disruption. InvestingIN also notes that in the UK alone, a predicted 17% reduction in headcount this year is being attributed to AI, with reports from Unison and government surveys raising concern that underrepresented groups are disproportionately impacted by redundancies. Without deliberate intervention, AI does not just fail to close existing gaps. It actively widens them.
A partnership built on shared purpose
Sarah Garrett MBE, CEO of InvestingIN, put it perfectly: “We are really happy to enter into this era and bring people together in the much needed space. The partnership aligns to both our values and goals: to support everyone in becoming AI ready whilst ensuring that implementation and AI practices are safe and inclusive.”
We could not agree more. That shared conviction is what makes this more than a partnership of convenience.
What we will do together
Our joint programme centres on three pillars: governance, inclusion, and upskilling for all. The work we will do together is where we are most excited.
Together, we will upskill underrepresented communities in AI through targeted training, real-life case studies, and expert insights, reaching deep into organisations and communities we have not yet been able to access at scale.
Together, we will support HR & inclusion teams, plus key stakeholders to critically assess how AI is being adopted in their organisations, ensuring the people most at risk from disruption are brought into reskilling initiatives rather than excluded from them. And together, we will shape best practice at a policy level, contributing to the AI leadership roundtable in Parliament this September and to the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Governance and Inclusive Leadership.
As Sarah Rench, Founder of RepresentAI, said: “RepresentAI is delighted to partner with InvestingIN to help upskill people in AI and support businesses in overcoming critical challenges. Together, we are committed to shaping best practices and contributing to parliamentary guidance that ensures AI is developed and deployed responsibly.”
The window for getting this right is open now. We are glad to have InvestingIN by our side.
