Andy Haldane , the chief economist at the Bank of England , and Tabitha Goldstaub , chair of the newly formed UK Artificial Intelligence Council , have both warned that disruption to the job market by AI could be worse than the previous three industrial revolutions . The chief economist of the Bank of England has warned that the UK will need a skills revolution to avoid "large swathes" of people becoming "technologically unemployed" as artificial intelligence makes many jobs obsolete. Haldane said the job losses as a result of automation would be hard to estimate , but said replacement positions where the " skills of human interaction " were needed could be a growth area . In contrast , Goldstaub said the challenges could be solved by a liberation from " mundane , unsafe , drudgery " .
