The challenges posed by #ArtificialIntelligence and unregulated automation can put countless jobs at risk and become a real threat to proper integral human development.

The scale of the cuts everywhere is brutal. I’ve never known such carnage in my entire multi-decade career, from the Telegraph to Canva to Heidi - and the list goes on and on. It’s a wholesale evisceration across industries.
