Rishi Sunak Highlights AI's Impact on Entry-Level Jobs and Calls for Tax Reform

Former UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has highlighted that artificial intelligence is making it harder for young people to secure entry-level jobs in sectors like law, accountancy, and creative industries. He noted that companies are increasingly using AI to boost productivity without expanding their workforce, leading to a flattening of junior recruitment. Sunak suggested governments should reconsider taxation systems, proposing shifts from employment taxes to corporate profit taxes to encourage hiring amid AI-driven changes.
