Ten possible jobs of the future - and why Britain may struggle to fill them

Britain will struggle to fill the jobs of the future if computer science and artificial intelligence (AI) are not made part of the school curriculum, research has warned. Demand for jobs that require such skills is estimated to rise by 40% over the next five years - but with only 15% of UK businesses having adopted AI, a report says the country risks falling behind. Research by Capital Economics suggests teaching AI skills in secondary schools may help fill rising demand for computer science and other such roles, supporting an average of £71bn of economic output annually to 2030. According to YouGov, 72% of secondary school teachers support making an active effort to increase education and resources around AI and computer science. But among STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) teachers surveyed, 64% had limited access to computer science resources - rising to 79% when focused on AI.
