"The BBC gave us an amazing opportunity to cover the tech that has, and will transform our lives, in ways we could never have imagined.
"It is a shame to see our dear show come to an end at this moment of AI transformation and incredible acceleration in innovation and possibility, but such are the economic constraints."
Last year, it was announced Lara would be joining ITV's Lorraine in a role created specifically for her.
She came on board as the daytime show's new technology expert.
The star penned on X at the time: "Excited to announce I’ve joined the @ITV @lorraine team as TV’s first AI Agony Aunt.
"I'll be breaking down the facts and answering viewers' questions on AI and tech.
"Much important stuff to discuss on what it means to be human in the age of AI.
Lara married husband and Money Saving Expert/Good Morning Britain star Martin Lewis in 2009.
It comes as another long-running BBC show is set to soon end.
