AI will eliminate up to 3 million jobs in Britain - Many positions risk "disappearing" by 2035
Up to 3 million low-skilled jobs could disappear in the UK by 2035, due to automation and artificial intelligence.
According to the National Foundation for Educational Research, the most at-risk positions are those in manual, machine-operating and administrative jobs. Meanwhile, highly skilled professionals are expected to be in greater demand as technological advances are increasing workloads “at least in the short to medium term.” In total, the report predicts that the British economy will add 2.3 million jobs by 2035, but their distribution will be uneven.
The data contradicts other research that suggests AI will affect higher-paying, technical professions, such as software engineering and management consulting, more than manual jobs. A King's College study published in October estimated that the highest-paying firms lost about 9.4% of their jobs between 2021 and 2025, a period that includes the time after ChatGPT's launch in 2022.
The British government ranks management consultants, psychologists and legal professionals as most exposed to innovation, while athletes, roofers and bricklayers are least likely to be replaced.
Last week, law firm Clifford Chance announced it was cutting 10% of its business services staff in London, about 50 positions, partly because of artificial intelligence. Other executives are also pulling back from plans to hire 100,000 people between 2021 and 2026, saying “the world has changed” and technology has reduced recruitment needs.
The effects on the British workforce are expected to be complex, with demand for some occupations rising and jobs shrinking in entry-level and low-skilled positions, the foundation said. The latter is worrying experts, as people who lose low-skilled jobs will find it harder to retrain in a rapidly changing economy.
