British workers are increasingly likely to work into their
70s, according to a research that found the cost of living
crisis has left older people with little choice but to stay in
employment. There were 446,601 people above the age of 70
still in work in 2022, a rise of 61% compared with 277,926 in
2012, said Rest Less, an online community for the over-50s
that offers advice to older workers.
While most of the over-70s workforce is male, the rise has
been more significant among women, most likely in response
to the gradual equalisation of pension ages between 2010
and 2020. Women were previously able to retire five years
earlier. The number of women working beyond the age of 70
is up 66% since 2012, compared with an increase of 58% for
men.
Stuart Lewis, the chief executive of Rest Less, drew a
comparison between older workers and King Charles, but
acknowledged that most continue working “for very different
reasons” to the hereditary monarch. “At the age of 74, King
Charles is a fantastic example of someone who both enjoys,
and benefits from, continuing to work post-state pension1
age,” said Lewis. “Our latest analysis shows that there are
far more over-70s in the workplace today than a decade ago.
Until Covid hit and life expectancy dropped for the first time
in a decade, there were more people reaching their state
pension age than ever before, which meant there were more
experienced people in the workplace than ever before too.”
Lewis said many of those reaching the theoretical age of
retirement were staying in the workplace for lack of any other
option. “Like King Charles, many of these people will have no
choice but to work, although for very different reasons to the
king. We see many older workers today who are struggling
to survive amidst the cost of living crisis, with inadequate
retirement savings meaning they must work in order to survive
financially.” The state pension age in the United Kingdom (UK)
is 66 for men and women but is due to start rising from 2026.

Some of the world’s leading artificial intelligence (AI)
researchers are calling for a pause on research into AI,
claiming that safety issues must first be urgently addressed.
If not, the outcomes could be devastating for humanity.
Others say any pause in development would not only be
impractical to enforce on a global scale, but could also stand
in the way of advances that could both improve and save
lives.
The AI that is currently available already has the power
to radically alter society, in new ways that we are seeing
every day. So how might it progress over the coming years?
Are we on the brink of an artificial intelligence-powered
utopia or dystopia?
Firstly, technology has been automating jobs since the
Industrial Revolution, though never before has it happened
on this scale. Everyone from truck drivers to voice over artists
are at risk of being replaced by AI. A recent study found that
just over 30 jobs are considered safe from automation in the
near future. They range from mechanics to athletes, though
they represent just a sliver of the current labour market.
While new jobs will be created, there is a significant chance
that the majority of the population will be left jobless. This
could either lead to:
Utopia: A new leisure class emerges, living off a
universal basic income funded by taxes on robots and the
companies that operate them.
Dystopia: Mass unemployment results in social unrest,
similar to the way laid off factory workers trashed the
machines that replaced them. With so many jobs at risk and
the potential for huge wealth inequality, some fear it could
ultimately result in societal collapse.
Secondly, artificial intelligence is already contributing
to major scientific advances, dramatically accelerating
the time it takes to make discoveries. It has been used to
invent millions of materials that did not previously exist, find
potential drug molecules 1,000 times faster than previous
methods, and improve our understanding of the universe.
This could either lead to:
Utopia: Cancer and all other life-threatening diseases
are cured, leading to a new age of health and prosperity.
Scientists are already using AI tools to make breakthroughs
in longevity medicine, which aims to end or even reverse
ageing.
Dystopia: The same AI-enabled technology could
be used for malevolent purposes, creating entirely new
diseases and viruses. These could be used as bioweapons,
capable of devastating populations that don’t have access to
cures or the tech needed to develop them.
