Overview

• Google's study reveals that 61% of UK jobs could be significantly enhanced by AI, with only a small fraction at risk of being phased out.
• The research suggests that AI can save the average British worker 100 hours a year, potentially adding £400bn to the UK economy by 2030.
• Key sectors like social care, transport, and food services are expected to be the least affected by AI automation.
• Google is launching the AI Works initiative to pilot AI adoption strategies in partnership with unions, businesses, and educational institutions.
• Efforts will focus on overcoming barriers to AI adoption, particularly for women, older workers, and those with less formal education.
