Labour would use AI to help people find jobs, says Jonathan Ashworth

Shadow work and pensions secretary will talk up possibilities of artificial intelligence as colleague discusses dangers for workers

Labour would use artificial intelligence to help those looking for work prepare their CVs, find jobs and receive payments faster, according to the party's shadow work and pensions secretary.

Jonathan Ashworth told the Guardian he thought the Department for Work and Pensions was wasting millions of pounds by not using cutting-edge technology, even as the party also says AI could also cause massive disruption to the jobs market.
