A RECENT report from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) makes grim reading.
The country’s official statisticians reported that 1.5 million people in England are at high risk of losing their jobs to automation — with women holding more than 70 per cent of those roles believed to be at high risk.
PWC suggest that automation could boost Britain’s GDP by up to £232 billion by 2030. This latest stage of technological transformation is presenting us with a stark choice. Either automation is made to work for ordinary people, or the billions of pounds in profits will be in the hands of a privileged few.
