'Left unmanaged, the AI revolution could entrench rampant inequality as jobs are degraded or replaced' Kate Bell TUC assistant general secretary
Half of adults in the UK are concerned about the potential impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on their job, according to a new poll, as union leaders called for a "step change" in the country's approach to new technologies.
Job losses or changes to terms and conditions were the biggest worries for the 51% of 2,600 adults surveyed for the TUC who said they were concerned about the ascendant technology.
AI is a particular concern for young workers aged between 25 and 34, who are at the start of their careers, with nearly two-thirds (62%) of those surveyed reporting such worries.
