8 million Brits could lose jobs due to AI

Artificial intelligence is developing at a “breathtaking speed” and is ready to produce a “seismic impact” on British society, claim IPPR (Institute for Public Policy Research) experts in a new study published on Friday.

According to the analysis of routine computer tasks performed by office workers, up to 70% of their work could be significantly modified or completely replaced by artificial intelligence. Researchers emphasize that AI’s impact will affect not only entry-level positions but also high-paying jobs.

Professions most affected will be those related to IT tasks, including project management, marketing, and administrative support. Experts predict a fundamental change in economic processes: “Work processes will increasingly be built around cheap generative intelligence rather than around people.”

Last year, IPPR warned that up to 8 million British workers risk losing their jobs due to AI, with the worst-case scenario showing no GDP growth. However, experts emphasize that “labor market apocalypse is not inevitable,” but the government needs to work with employers and unions to create new jobs resistant to automation.

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer promised a month ago to make Britain “one of the great AI superpowers,” presenting plans for developing the national artificial intelligence industry. According to his estimates, the technology could increase UK productivity by 1.5% annually and add £47 billion ($58 billion) to the economy each year over a decade.

UBTech will send Walker S2 robots to serve on China's border for $37 million

Chinese company UBTech won a contract for $37 million. And will send humanoid robots Walker S2 to serve on China's border with Vietnam. South China Morning Post reports that the robots will interact with tourists and staff, perform logistics operations, inspect cargo and patrol the area. And characteristically — they can independently change their battery.

Anthropic accidentally revealed an internal document about Claude's "soul"

Anthropic accidentally revealed the "soul" of artificial intelligence to a user. And this is not a metaphor. This is a quite specific internal document.

Jensen Huang ordered Nvidia employees to use AI everywhere

Jensen Huang announced total mobilization under the banner of artificial intelligence inside Nvidia. And this is no longer a recommendation. This is a requirement.

AI chatbots generate content that exacerbates eating disorders

A joint study by Stanford University and the Center for Democracy and Technology showed a disturbing picture. Chatbots with artificial intelligence pose a serious risk to people with eating disorders. Scientists warn that neural networks hand out harmful advice about diets. They suggest ways to hide the disorder and generate "inspiring weight loss content" that worsens the problem.

OpenAGI released the Lux model that overtakes Google and OpenAI

Startup OpenAGI released the Lux model for computer control and claims this is a breakthrough. According to benchmarks, the model overtakes analogues from Google, OpenAI and Anthropic by a whole generation. Moreover, it works faster. About 1 second per step instead of 3 seconds for competitors. And 10 times cheaper in cost per processing 1 token.
