UP TO seven in 10 computer-based jobs will be replaced or significantly transformed by AI, says a new think tank report published today.  

The Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) said its analysis of 22,000 computer-reliant tasks commonly performed by workers highlights an “urgent need for government intervention to set a clear direction for AI’s role in daily life.”

It released its report ahead ahead of the Paris AI Action Summit next week.
