"More than 300,000 Londoners, mainly in routine administrative roles, are highly exposed and at most immediate risk of automation, with AI now capable of performing a large share of their daily work."
"Nearly half of London's workers (46% or around 2.4 million) are in roles where GenAI could automate a meaningful share of their tasks, significantly higher than the UK average of 38%."
"A high degree of exposure to AI does not necessarily mean job losses. Many workers in London are going to see their jobs changed by AI."
"Given the numbers of Londoners that are exposed, and the finding that 7% of large UK businesses have already used AI to cut staff, we cannot afford to be complacent."
More than 300,000 Londoners in routine administrative roles are at immediate risk of automation by AI. An additional 748,000 are significantly exposed, totaling over a million workers. Nearly half of London's workforce, around 2.4 million, is in roles where AI could automate tasks, surpassing the UK average. Early signs of slowing recruitment in exposed roles are noted. While AI may change jobs rather than eliminate them, the potential for job losses exists, as evidenced by 7% of large UK businesses using AI to reduce staff.
