AI 'creating, not cutting' jobs in Newport
BBC reports that AI is creating, not cutting, jobs in Newport, Wales. Semiconductor companies like IQE benefit from AI data center demand, with the South Wales compound semiconductor sector supporting 3,140 jobs in 2025, up 14% from 2,748 in 2024, with average salaries around £66,000. The UK AI minister says Wales must reindustrialise for an AI future.
