For a small inoffensive treat, Jaffa Cakes can cause a lot of debate. Should you eat it all in one or nibble off the edge before the jelly? These are questions asked in households across the UK, and while theses questions may always remain a mystery, McVitie's amazed fans in 2020 by putting an end to one debate. The Edinburgh-biscuit company revealed the chocolate is actually on the bottom of the Jaffa Cake, contrary to popular belief. In a screenshot of a Twitter conservation shared widely on UK Facebook groups, McVitie's appeared to have confirmed that chocolate is at the bottom of a Jaffa Cake UK social media user known as David claimed to have asked the Jaffa Cake team to confirm which side of the treat is the top via Facebook Messenger.

With their crumbly texture and smeared with clotted cream and jam, scones are a favourite treat with Brits across the UK. But despite dating back to the early 1500s, one question remains – should you put the cream or jam on first? Now, ChatGPT claims to have settled the debate, just in time for King Charles' coronation. The AI chatbot says it would opt for the'Devon method' of putting the clotted cream on the scone first, followed by the jam on top. Its choice has enraged many scone fans on Twitter, with comedian Dawn French replying: 'You are a robot with no taste (literally & figuratively) & no respect for all that is holy.

The need to integrate Responsible AI (RAI) practices has become an organizational imperative. As Generative AI systems such as ChatGPT gain traction, it will quickly become easier for companies to adopt AI, thanks to lowered barriers to access. Already, as many experiment with these systems, they are unearthing serious ethical issues: scientific misinformation that looks convincing to the untrained eye, biased images and avatars, hate speech, and more. Our research has shown that investing in RAI early is essential; it minimizes failures as companies scale the development and deployment of AI systems within their organization. But we've also found that it takes three years on average for an RAI program to achieve maturity.

In 1950, the English computer scientist Alan Turing devised a test he called the imitation game: could a computer program ever convince a human interlocutor that he was talking to another human, rather than to a machine? The Turing test, as it became known, is often thought of as a test of whether a computer could ever really "think." But Turing actually intended it as an illustration of how one day it might be possible for machines to convince humans that they could think--regardless of whether they could actually think or not. Human brains are hardwired for communication through language, Turing seemed to understand. Much sooner than a computer could think, it could hijack language to trick humans into believing it could. Seven decades later, in 2022, even the most cutting edge artificial intelligence (AI) systems cannot think in any way comparable to a human brain. But they can easily pass the Turing test.
