Politicians who boost AI do not represent the views of their constituents. New polling in the UK shows: - Most people think AI will destroy more jobs than it creates (57% v 17%) - 7 in 10 are worried about the economic impact of AI-driven job losses (3 in 10 very worried) - 1 in 5 think this will cause civil unrest (and 1 in 3 students) - Most people think companies will use savings to invest in more AI, not more people (59% v 15%) - 65% think AI’s economic benefits will flow mainly to wealthy investors and large companies (vs 13% who don’t) Full research from King’s College London here: https://preview-kcl.cloud.contensis.com/policy-institute/assets/ai-and-the-future-of-work.pdf
