AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

A new survey by King’s College London shows that a third of British university students fear AI‑driven job losses could spark civil unrest, with 77 % using AI at least occasionally and 27 % doing so daily. While 22 % of the general public share this concern, the figure rises to 34 % among students, and only 24 % of the public view AI positively for humanity compared with 52 % of male students. Students also report frequent AI errors—37 % encounter factual inaccuracies and 31 % encounter fabricated sources—but fewer than half regularly verify outputs. Despite these worries, 78 % would still attend university, though many doubt they are being adequately prepared for an “AI‑shaped” job market. The findings highlight widespread anxiety about AI’s economic impact alongside pockets of optimism that proper training and policy could harness its benefits.
