According to a report by The Institute for Public Policy
Research (IPPR), younger workers, women and lower-
wage workers stand to lose the most to AI automation.
The IPPR's report found that entry-level, part-time
and administrative jobs face the highest risk of
being replaced by AI in a "worst-case scenario.".
Over the next three to five years, the thinktank
warns that more companies will use generative AI
technology to automate everyday workplace tasks.
The IPPR found that 11% of tasks currently
done by workers are at risk.
This includes database management, scheduling and
stocktaking, which could displace entry-level workers in the
secretarial, administrative and customer service sectors.

The IPPR warns that the number
could increase to 59% of tasks in a
second wave if AI technology is developed
to handle more and more complex tasks. .
The second wave could impact higher-earning jobs
that involve less routine tasks surrounding database
creation, copywriting and graphic design. .
The IPPR warns that women , "are more likely to work in the most
exposed occupations, such as secretarial
and administrative occupations.".
According to the report, the worst-case
scenario for the second wave of AI could impact
7.9 million jobs, which would negate productivity
gains with zero growth in GDP for up to five years.
