AI labour-market thread says policymakers are focusing on the wrong workers

A thread points readers to the latest AI and labour-market data and argues that policy debates are focusing on the wrong workers.
The quoted post notes that England has announced courses letting 14-year-olds study manufacturing and AI alongside core GCSEs, tied to local industry. The author’s larger claim is that this education push does not line up with the current evidence on which workers are most exposed to AI-related labour market disruption.
