I can’t see AI creating many new jobs. But given the disturbing figures I’ve read recently about young people aged 18–24 across the UK and EU who are not in education, employment or training (NEET), perhaps we won’t need many. More worrying still is that of the nearly one million NEETs in the UK, with the numbers increasing steadily since 2021, around 30 per cent attribute their status to long-term illness or disability. These people will never work. We're going to need robots...and plenty of them!
