Artificial intelligence will affect up to 60% of jobs worldwide, IMF warns... so is YOURS at risk?

Artificial intelligence may soon affect more than half of all jobs in the UK, a new study from the IMF has warned. Across the world, 40 per cent of all occupations are likely to be affected by AI. But in advanced economies like the UK, the impact is expected to be even more pronounced, with 60 per cent of all workers feeling the impact. The IMF warns that, even where AI's effects are positive, computer automation is likely to drive wealth inequality. Highly paid professions will see AI boost their wages while lower paid roles are at a significant risk of pay cuts and lay-offs.
