Artificial intelligence seems to have touched every part of our lives. But can it help us manage our money? We put some common personal finance questions to the free version of ChatGPT, one of the most well-known AI chatbots, and asked for its help. Then we gave the answers to some – human – experts and asked them what they thought. We asked: I am 35 years old and want to ensure I have a comfortable retirement. I earn about 35,000 a year and have a workplace pension, in which I have saved 20,000.

A new report published by the TUC today has argued that the economic gains from digitisation, robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) will benefit working people. For example, by reversing policies to raise the state pension age. The report delves into the impact of the technological revolution on jobs and wages. Previous technological changes, like the Industrial Revolution, have not led to an overall loss of jobs, but have disrupted the types of job people do. Nevertheless, it is a concern for people.

The Trade Union Congress (TUC) has called on the UK government to make sure workers are not left out by technology-driven productivity gains. According to TUC general secretary Frances O'Grady, it is essential the UK makes the most of "the most of the economic opportunities that new technologies are offering", especially with the UK failing to make productivity gains in the past decade.

The TUC has urged the government to use productivity gains from the greater use of robots and artificial intelligence to reverse planned changes to the state pension age. Before its annual congress in Brighton, the TUC said higher levels of productivity thanks to technological innovation ought to bring greater benefits for working people. It said recent progress had mainly benefited business owners, rather than being shared across the workforce through better wages and working conditions. Analysis from the accountants PricewaterhouseCoopers suggests GDP could receive a 10% boost from productivity gains linked to artificial intelligence by 2030, helping to bolster the British economy as it seeks to escape a period of weak output growth. That could relieve the pressure on workers to stay in employment into their late 60s, according to the TUC.
