- 1 in 5 Brits think AI layoffs could trigger civil unrest
A survey by King's College London found that one in five people in the UK believe AI could trigger civil unrest due to job losses, with 69% of workers worried about the economic impact and 57% thinking AI will destroy more jobs than it creates. The study also revealed that university students are particularly concerned, with around a third believing rapid AI-driven job losses could lead to civil unrest. Many employers have already made roles redundant or reduced hiring due to AI.
