  1. There are a million vacancies in STEM sector. Problem is people are not training for these jobs. Hence why we in business are having to import STEM workers. China and India understand the education priorities (STEM).

  2. But why should we create low paid jobs? A business doesn't exist to create jobs for the sake of creating jobs. Businesses exist to provide products and services, in the most efficient way possible.

  3. Define what a 'robot' is first. Is an Excel formula a robot?

  4. It's not a UK only problem. This is a global challenge for all of the developed economies.

  5. The world cannot change overnight. His ideas and strategies are too radical. Change happens gradually, inter-generationally. Problem is people want things sorted in their lifetime, which is kind of a pointless way to go about life.

  6. I test this on LinkedIn and she was matched to senior and experienced roles.

  7. This is a Labour or UK government problem. It's a problem for the entire G20.

  8. Every business has these common functions, HR, IT, Finance, Marketing, Customer Service. In all these functions, the "operations" side can be automated because these are very standardised functions. HR Ops - 90% of the work can be automated and augmented with AI, needs only 4 to 7 people even for a business with 50,000+ employees. IT Ops - 90% of the work can be automated, needs only 10 or so people, even for a business with 1,000+ servers and a globe spanning network infrastructure. Finance Ops - 80% of the work can be automated, I recently did a reduction of a 30 person team down to 6 using automation (not even using AI, just workflow automation). Marketing Ops - 95% of the work can be automated (or outsourced entirely), needs only a small internal management layer. Customer Service Ops - 90% of the work can be automated, 9 out of 10 interactions are standardised query/response. Contact centers can be scaled up using virtual digital agents instead of hiring additional human agents. Where any job has defined processes and procedures, the workflow can be fully automated with humans only needed to handle the exceptions. This is what we are doing already today and have been for the past decade. The difference now is that the solutions are cheaper and no longer only affordable to large enterprise budgets. If you don't believe me, look at these things: ServiceNow platform (Customer Service, but also anything an organisation needs to do) Workday platform (HR and Payroll) Dynamics 365 platform (Finance and ERP) SalesForce platform (Marketing and CRM) Google AI Studio and Microsoft Co-Pilot (End user productivity tooling)

  9. There are a million vacancies in STEM related fields. Problem is people in the UK are not training or re-skilling for these jobs. Hence why we in business are having to import workers from China and India where they understand the education priorities (STEM).

  10. ​ @benjaminford9932  My reply seems to have been deleted. Companies do invest, but in the people they already have so as not to lose existing organisational knowledge. Outside, it's the tech companies that are partnering with unis to provide upskilling, or directly providing online learning resources.

  11. This not true. It may have been true in the past, but definitely not true now. I work with civil service and government agencies, and they are very eager to use new tech, it's more about budgets.

  12. It is the lowering of the cost of these solutions that will expedite the job losses. Payroll is always the biggest cost in any business. Payroll cost reduction will drive the adoption of these technologies and the vendors will give big discounts to get businesses into their platform ecosystems (once on a platform, it's costly to migrate away). What is happening in business world will now happen in public services and government. ServiceNow is already in the lead in public sector and government agencies around the world, so much so that they even have a government agency dedicated data center, physically separate to their commercial operations.

  13.  @benjaminford9932  Companies do invest, but in the people they already have in their organisation, and that's so they can retain the organisational knowledge those employees possess from their tenure at the business. Companies are not going to invest in outside talent. The vendors of the new technologies (the Googles, the ServiceNows, etc) are funding up-skilling programmes. Some are even partnering with universities to provide degrees in the new skills.

  14. ​ @benjaminford9932  The companies are investing in their existing people, but companies don't need to invest in new people because, quite simply, they're not going to be hire as many new people. And this keeps the job market competitive, puts onus on candidates to be ready self trained.

  15. Should companies be investing in training people for the required skills? Companies are investing in their existing people (so they don't lose organisational knowledge), but companies don't need to invest in new people because, quite simply, they're not going to be hiring as many new people. And this keeps the job market competitive, puts onus on candidates to be AI ready either through self training or prior experience.

  16. Because being an MP is 24/7 job, not a traditional 9-5. They have a lot of travel and time away from home. Frankly they are underpaid. I'm paid more than an MP and I only have to work a four day week.

  17. There are about 1 million STEM vacancies. These are very real and decently apid.
