A report commissioned by London Mayor Sadiq Khan warns that over a million Londoners are at high or significant risk of job disruption due to generative AI, with administrative roles most exposed.

Why's our monitor labelling this an incident or hazard?
The article involves AI systems in the context of their potential to automate tasks and impact jobs, which is a plausible future harm scenario. However, it does not report any actual harm or incident caused by AI systems at this time. The focus is on risk assessment and policy discussion rather than a concrete event of harm or malfunction. Therefore, this qualifies as an AI Hazard, reflecting credible potential for harm to labor markets and workers if AI adoption proceeds without adequate safeguards.[AI generated]
