Summary: A report by the Institute for Public Policy Research warns that up to 8 million UK jobs could be lost to AI in the next three to five years. Women, younger workers, and lower-wage earners are most at risk. The first wave of AI adoption is already impacting jobs, with a potential second wave threatening 59% of tasks. Government intervention is crucial to mitigate job losses and harness AI for economic growth.
