In partnership with Missing People, our mission is to bring awareness to every publicly listed missing person in the UK through our live, interactive map. The Mirror has launched a campaign called 'Missed'. Part of the campaign includes an interactive map in partnership with the Missing People charity as we launch our Missed campaign calling for better support and care for missing people and their loved ones. Right now, there's no real support. People go missing again and again - yet no one's asking why. We're calling for: A new national strategy for missing children and adults Proper support for missing people when they return Investment to stop people going missing in the first place At 10,000 signatures, the government has to respond.

White-collar job postings still rarely mention GenAI
Bernard, senior economist at Indeed Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) tools may be a central focus of recent global stock markets, but their tangible labor market impacts have so far been limited. Many Canadian workers report using GenAI tools like ChatGPT in their day-to-day activities, but in late January 2025, just 0.28% of Canadian job postings on Indeed included any GenAI-related terms, despite steady growth since early 2023. This low share of postings isn't unique to Canada. With a few exceptions, such as Singapore and Ireland, the proportion of job descriptions including GenAI-related terms in January 2025 was below 0.3% in many countries tracked by Hiring Lab, including the UK, the US, and Australia. While some positions that don't mention GenAI will likely still incorporate the technology in day-to-day tasks, it's rare for related tools and skills to be central enough in the workflow of many positions for employers to mention it in their job postings overtly. Small amount of mentions in white-collar postings keeps the GenAI share low Mentions of GenAI in job postings are highly concentrated in a small corner of the labor market: those related to science, technology, and mathematics. These occupations comprised just 6% of Canadian job postings in January, but accounted for more than half (58%) of all mentions of GenAI in job descriptions. Meanwhile, GenAI-related terms are rarely included in job postings for many white-collar occupations, despite the vast potential to use the technology in these roles. In recent research, Hiring Lab evaluated the ability of GPT-4o, a popular GenAI model developed by OpenAI, to perform each of the 2,800 skills in Indeed's skill taxonomy library across three dimensions: Its ability to provide theoretical knowledge about the skill, its ability to problem-solve using the skill, and the necessity of physical presence in performing the skill. These evaluations informed a final assessment of the likelihood current Gen-AI tools will come to replace humans in performing these various skills. No skills were determined to be "very likely" to be replaced in the near term, while more than two-thirds (69%) of skills were deemed "unlikely" or "very unlikely" to be imminently replaced by GenAI. But for some occupations with limited physical requirements and where theoretical knowledge is paramount, most of the skills listed in recent US job postings were rated as "possible" or "likely" replaceable by GenAI. However, mentions of GenAI job postings in these highly exposed occupations have been quite mixed. The capabilities of GenAI overlap closely with many of the skills involved in several of the science, technology, and math jobs that also mention the technology at elevated rates. In January, more than 6% of job postings in the mathematics field (which includes data scientists) mentioned at least one GenAI-related keyword, by far the highest among sectors tracked. Math job postings also happen to have the highest proportion of skills deemed to be possibly or likely replaceable at the moment by GenAI. GenAI mentions were also relatively prevalent in software development (3.4%, which includes machine learning engineers), scientific research and development (2%), and information design and documentation (1.1%), all of which also ranked relatively high in terms of possible skill replacement. At the same time, the vast majority of job ads are for occupations where mentions of GenAI in late 2024 were quite rare. This was the case in fields where the technology isn't yet relevant to most of the skills in demand — including healthcare, driving, and construction — but also across a range of white-collar sectors where the overlap is quite substantial. For instance, postings in accounting (the field with the second-highest skill replacement potential), administrative assistance, human resources, and legal services all mentioned GenAI less than the economy-wide average. Banking and finance ranked slightly higher, with just 0.32% of postings mentioning GenAI. Gradual adoption so far, but room for growth Despite GenAI's vast potential application, textual analysis of job descriptions suggest it's had a limited disruptive impact on the workflow of most white-collar occupations outside of those in science, technology, and math. One reason these fields are the exception is that some of these jobs — like a machine learning engineer — are involved in the development of these tools themselves. However, the elevated prevalence could also reflect greater comfort among employers in these sectors in adopting and using the new technology more broadly. For other sectors, like finance, accounting, and sales, the gradual incorporation of GenAI into businesses' workflow across the economy will likely mean that skill requirements related to the technology won't suddenly shift in the near term. Nonetheless, given the substantial overlap between the capabilities of tools like ChatGPT and the types of skills and tasks many workers perform, there's significant room for further growth as employers formalize their application of the technology. For job seekers, finding ways to familiarize themselves with GenAI tools today will likely help them get ahead of these trends going forward. recent research.

Swiss national, 65, missing on Lochaber walking trail
A search has been launched for a 65-year-old Swiss national reported missing while on a Lochaber walking trail.
