Their contributions are critical not just locally, but also in connecting people across the globe, making them an integral part of the UK's infrastructure.
AI helps here, but has not taken over
AI can already do some of this job, but the day-to-day work still leans on a person to decide, check and take responsibility. Nothing formally protects this job though, so the safest move is to keep building the judgement AI cannot yet copy.
