According to new research by PwC, the enormous impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) could create a considerable number of Scottish jobs over the next 20 years. The company's latest UK Economic Outlook (UKEO), predicts that the deployment of robotics, drones, driverless vehicles and other digital innovations aimed at'smart automation,' could lead to the creation of 558,000 jobs, as the employment market faces its biggest shake-up in a lifetime. The report says that AI will create more jobs as productivity and real incomes rise, and new better products are developed. PwC asserts that AI will reduce prices while labour saving technologies brought about by AI will improve the quality of existing products and enable new products to be brought to market, which also create a need for additional workers. The net effect on this will be most positively felt in London, with 138,000 addition jobs created, or 2.3% of existing job numbers.
