We must not let liberal tech firms & governments invent AI rules that suit them
Power struggle
BRITAIN is already a world leader in artificial intelligence. Let us capitalise on that — and not let hysteria about its supposed threats overwhelm us.
True, those risks may be substantial and the voices raising them should not be ignored. But no one really knows.
We must not neuter AI’s mind-boggling potential in an existential panic. Safeguards must be delicately drafted.
The Left already seeks to control what we read, hear, drive and even eat.
We must not let liberal tech giants and governments invent rules that suit them but not ordinary people or businesses.

Are the Tories, or Labour, even dimly aware of the infrastructure revolution already needed to accommodate them?
Or the repercussions of doing nothing, and simply asking the nation to suck it up?
