Regulating AI'not the right place to start' says Bailey The Governor of the Bank of England has said regulating artificial intelligence (AI) is not the right place to start but instead called first for rigorous testing to find vulnerabilities and safeguards to contain risk. Writing his first-ever article for Substack, Andrew Bailey said the risks around AI were real and increasingly significant. Bailey said the development of AI should not be halted or prohibited - on the contrary, the benefits are immense - but added there must be a system for intervention and to establish boundaries in which AI operates. In recent weeks, the debate about the potential risks surrounding the rapid development of AI and what it means for humanity has intensified.

As AI images become common, the threat to elections draws alarm: 'How will voters know what's true?' An image of College Park, Georgia mayor Bianca Motley Broom kissing a man - who was not her husband - in a bar spread far and wide on Facebook. The fact that it's fake is spreading faster, now, but only after it had been seen by thousands of people. "I think this is a sad commentary about where we are in our democracy, and where we are in our political discourse," Motley Broom said. "It also seeks to reinforce really tired stereotypes about women in leadership."

The US government's new chatbot just demonstrated AI's ability to plagiarize, lie and be unintentionally hilarious. Then, it will deny even writing the poem.
