Our Story

Our founders, Spence and John met at Google working on Google Translate. As researchers at Stanford and Berkeley, they both worked on language technology to make information accessible to everyone. They were amazed to learn that Google Translate wasn’t used for enterprise products and services inside the company and left to start a new company to address this need – LILT.

At its core, LILT has always been a machine learning company since its incorporation on March 6, 2015. At the time, machine translation didn’t meet the quality standard for enterprise translations, so LILT assembled a cutting-edge research team tasked with closing that gap. While meeting customer demand for translation services, LILT has prioritized investments in Large Language Models, believing that this foundation was imperative to the future of enterprise translation.

Benefits:

AI Jobs in the Public Sector: MOD, NHS & Gov Digital Service Opportunities

Artificial intelligence (AI) has rapidly evolved from a niche field of computer science into a transformative force reshaping industries across the globe. From healthcare to finance and from education to defence, AI-driven tools and techniques are revolutionising how we approach problems, improve efficiency, and make data-driven decisions. Nowhere is this transformation more apparent than in the United Kingdom’s public sector. Key government entities, including the Ministry of Defence (MOD), the National Health Service (NHS), and the Government Digital Service (GDS), are increasingly incorporating AI into their operations. Consequently, AI jobs within these bodies are growing both in number and strategic importance. In this comprehensive blog post, we will explore the landscape of AI jobs across the UK public sector, with a close look at the MOD, the NHS, and the Government Digital Service. We will delve into the reasons these organisations are investing heavily in AI, the types of roles available, the essential skills and qualifications required, as well as the salary ranges one might expect. Whether you are a new graduate keen to make a meaningful impact through your technical skills or a seasoned professional looking for your next career move, the public sector offers a wealth of opportunities in AI. By the end of this article, you will have a clearer understanding of why AI is so crucial to the public sector’s success, which roles are in demand, and how you can tailor your application to stand out in a competitive and rewarding job market.

Contract vs Permanent AI Jobs: Which Pays Better in 2025?

As an AI professional, deciding between contracting (either as a day‑rate contractor or via fixed-term contracts) and permanent employment could drastically impact your take‑home pay, job security, and career trajectory. In this article, we will delve into the various types of AI roles in 2025—particularly focusing on day‑rate contracting, fixed-term contract (FTC) roles, and permanent positions. We will compare the earning potential across these three employment types, discuss the key pros and cons, and provide practical examples of how your annual take‑home pay might differ under each scenario. Whether you are already working in AI or looking to break into this booming field, understanding these employment options will help you make an informed decision on your next move.

AI Jobs for Non‑Technical Professionals: Where Do You Fit In?

Your Seat at the AI Table Artificial Intelligence (AI) has left the lab and entered boardrooms, high‑street banks, hospitals and marketing agencies across the United Kingdom. Yet a stubborn myth lingers: “AI careers are only for coders and PhDs.” If you can’t write TensorFlow, surely you have no place in the conversation—right? Wrong. According to PwC’s UK AI Jobs Barometer 2024, vacancies mentioning AI rose 61 % year‑on‑year, but only 35 % of those adverts required advanced programming skills (pwc.co.uk). The Department for Culture, Media & Sport (DCMS) likewise reports that Britain’s fastest‑growing AI employers are “actively recruiting non‑technical talent to scale responsibly” (gov.uk). Put simply, the nation needs communicators, strategists, ethicists, marketers and project leaders every bit as urgently as it needs machine‑learning engineers. This 2,500‑word guide shows where you fit in—and how to land an AI role without touching a line of Python.
