The AI Transition Campaign

7.9 million UK jobs are at risk from AI — and no plan exists for the transition.

We’re proposing a time-limited levy on commercial AI to fund worker retraining. 5 years. Ring-fenced. Then it’s gone.

Our Proposal

What We’re Proposing

  1. 1.
    3–5% levy on commercial AI token consumption
    Applied only above 1M tokens/month. SMEs, researchers & public bodies exempt.
  2. 2.
    Revenue ring-fenced in a National Workforce Transition Fund
    Not general revenue. Independently audited. Retraining grants & regional support only.
  3. 3.
    5-year sunset clause — gone by 2031
    No renewal without new legislation. Reviewed annually by OBR and ONS.
  4. 4.
    50/50 split between AI providers and enterprise users
    50/50 split: half on model providers, half on API customers. Neither bears it alone.
