Rapid projects support government departments to understand the scientific evidence underpinning a policy issue or area by convening academic, industry and government experts at a single roundtable. The summary meeting notes seek to provide accessible science advice for policymakers. They represent the combined views of roundtable participants, and are not statements of government policy.

This note summarises an expert roundtable held in January 2023, covering the potential impacts of human augmentation on labour and productivity, and related implementation challenges.
