8 million people in the UK spend their days in fear of losing their jobs. Women, younger workers and low-wage workers are most at risk from AI.
Most organizations in the UK are becoming automated. As a result, entry-level, part-time and administrative workers are most at risk. The IPPR predicts that many people in the UK will lose their jobs in the next three to five years if AI technology is widely adopted.
UK companies are turning to generative AI technology. This technology can automatically generate text, data and software code. As a result, those who do these jobs will naturally lose their jobs.
The impact of AI is already being felt in the UK labor market. Because one after another companies are adopting AI technology.
To produce the report, they analyzed 22,000 different jobs across the UK. The results showed that 11 percent of jobs are at high risk.
Routine tasks like database management or scheduling and stocktaking were already at risk. Now entry-level, part-time and administrative jobs are also at risk.
A second wave of AI is about to begin, IPPR warns. Then jobs like database creation, copywriting and graphics design will also be at risk.
