AI could boost Jersey economy with right funding, expert says

Linder said the broader use of AI could boost the island’s economy, but businesses must weigh those gains against the potential risks to employment.

He said: “We do have quite a tight labour market, we don’t have enough, we have more jobs than there are people and as the population ages it’ll put more pressure on the working age population as it is.

“With any technology, there are always some jobs which are lost, but history tends to show that more jobs are created than lost as a result of technology.”
