AI is flattening the jobs market for young people, says Sunak

rishi sunak says AI is flattening the job market for young people, particularly in law, accountancy, and creative industries. the former prime minister, now an adviser to anthropic and microsoft, says company bosses privately tell him recruitment is stalling because they can grow without hiring more. he suggests abolishing national insurance "over time" and shifting taxes to corporate profits, which he says would be boosted by AI productivity. sunak warns the impact on employment "may be different to previous technology cycles," urging action to tip the scales toward AI helping, not replacing, workers. on anthropic's new model claude mythos, which can outperform humans in some hacking tasks, sunak said it shows "we shouldn't rely on companies to mark their own homework." he noted the uk's ai security institute was first to test it. he also promoted "londonmaxxing," referencing recent multi-billion pound tech investments, calling the uk an "ai superpower."
