AI-fuelled job automation set to widen inequality in the UK, warns report

3

The rapid automation of millions of jobs through artificial intelligence can intensify economic inequality throughout the United Kingdom unless the government retracts with targeted support, according to a new study conducted by the Future Labor Institute (IFOW).

The report found for three years that both companies and workers face widespread challenges, from the growing skills to the concerns about job security and luxury, as systems that operate with AI materials become more prevalent in factories, offices and public sector.

Christopher Pesarides, a Nobel Prize winner in the economy and the main author of the report, warned that despite the ability of Amnesty International to increase productivity and growth, the ministers need to address its effects on workers. He asked how Amnesty International can enhance productivity and prosperity without creating more stress and pressure, and how it could open new opportunities without expanding the divisions across the country.

IFOW has wiped 5,000 employees and 1,000 companies, and discovered a wide sense of anxiety, fear and uncertainty among workers regarding the effect of artificial intelligence. While some large companies have developed strategies to help employees adapt, smaller companies seem less equipped to navigate the wave coming from automation. The report argues that, without significant intervention, job displacement and major changes in job roles can lead to local economies and social structures.

Among her proposals, IFOW recommends the establishment of scientific centers inspired by the Francis Creek Institute in London in regional cities, a step aimed at preventing London and the Oxford-Gamperbridge Archive from controlling biotechnology and other expanding fields quickly. The authors also request the transfer of more decision -making authority to local authorities and to enhance the role of unions, including granting them digital access, collective rights, and new e -learning roles. They say that these measures will support workers during the artificial intelligence revolution.

According to James Hiton, Professor of Innovation at Warwick College of Business and a contribution to the report, the influence on jobs, skills and job quality comes to how artificial intelligence is executed. It is believed that companies and managers have a decisive role in providing artificial intelligence in ways that enhance the well -being of employees and comprehensive productivity, instead of watching automation only as a measure to reduce costs. The report concludes that through studied governance and responsible publishing, AI can enhance the comprehensive labor market. However, failure in behavior may exacerbate social divisions, reduce productivity gains, and undermine smaller companies and their employees.
