The UK science minister, Patrick Vallance, emphasizes that advances in AI and robotics, especially humanoid robotics, will transform human jobs, primarily starting in warehouses and factories.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Vallance highlights that this technological combination will increase productivity and change the nature of human jobs by making repetitive tasks robotic.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; The government has introduced plans to reduce regulatory barriers for robot and defense tech companies through initiatives like the expanded Regulatory Innovation Office (RIO).<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology is investing \u00a352m to establish new hubs aimed at accelerating the adoption of robotics in British businesses, providing advice and showing live demonstrations.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; London Mayor Sadiq Khan has expressed concerns about AI potentially leading to a new era of mass unemployment if measures are not taken to help replace lost jobs.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Despite concerns, Vallance argued that robots will take over less interesting, repetitive tasks and enhance, rather than replace, human jobs, citing robotics in surgery as an example.<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AI will transform the \u2018human job\u2019 and enhance skills, says science minister | AI (artificial&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":178866,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/i.guim.co.uk\/img\/media\/a7700fcd48ab8eba8a7a80e60aaf709f67037c17\/465_0_5800_4640\/master\/5800.jpg?width=1200&height=630&quality=85&auto=format&fit=crop&precrop=40:21,offset-x50,offset-y0&overlay-align=bottom%2Cleft&overlay-width=100p&overlay-base64=L2ltZy9zdGF0aWMvb3ZlcmxheXMvdGctZGVmYXVsdC5wbmc&enable=upscale&s=964be4d94a54cee2848d6d0fb989f06e","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[20],"class_list":["post-178865","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificial-intelligence"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/178865"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=178865"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/178865\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":178867,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/178865\/revisions\/178867"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/178866"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=178865"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=178865"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=178865"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
