The UK Government’s AI Obsession is a Big Risk
Will Dunn
Notes
What happens when a government goes all in on AI? It creates some huge vulnerabilities. Will Dunn joins Paris Marx to dig into how the UK government is using chatbots to write laws without public consultation and why it isn’t asking the hard questions about the risks of that growing reliance on US technology.
Guest
Will Dunn is the business editor at the New Statesman.
