AI is already leading to fewer jobs for young people, says Sunak
Sunak, now an adviser to Anthropic and Microsoft, says graduates face fewer entry-level opportunities as AI deployment flattens youth recruitment. He notes CEOs describe 'flat is the new up' and proposes tax reforms funded by AI-driven productivity, while highlighting the UK’s growing AI sector and regulatory priorities. The piece also references Anthropic's Claude Mythos and Britain's AI Security Institute testing the model.
Why It Matters
The remarks connect AI deployment to potential shifts in employment and fiscal policy, with implications for education, regulation, and innovation strategy in the UK and beyond.
