We must not allow liberal tech companies and governments to invent AI rules that suit them

power struggle
The UK is already a world leader in artificial intelligence. Let’s take advantage of this – and let’s not get overwhelmed by the hysteria about the perceived threats.
True, these risks can be significant and the voices they raise should not be ignored. But nobody really knows.
We must not neutralize the overwhelming potential of AI in an existential panic. Protective measures must be carefully worked out.
The left is already trying to control what we read, hear, drive and even eat.
We must not allow liberal tech giants and governments to invent rules that suit them but not ordinary people or corporations.
Rishi Sunak rightly praises the enormous power of AI to improve lives or cure diseases. We must not combine it with bureaucracy.
China, for example, will not do this.
eco freaks
KEIR Starmer’s dangerous capitulation to the eco-mob is nonsensical and Labor’s rationale is incoherent.
When Rishi Sunak says it would play into Putin’s hands, he is right.
Labor admits we will need oil and gas for decades. Nevertheless, it is content to let the supplies of our North Sea dry up.
So what? Go into the hands of the Saudis or Russia at huge financial, geopolitical and environmental costs?
Starmer has let Ed Miliband and the protesters dictate his policies.
Just Stop Oil’s naïve ignorance of the energy needs of a major economy makes a potential government equally – and frighteningly – ignorant.
Start building
GREAT BRITAIN is fundamentally unable to plan and build enough nuclear power plants, reservoirs and houses. . . They call it.
Given that MPs take odd pride in blocking development, it’s ridiculous to think that if massive levels of legal immigration continue, we could wipe out 15 Birmingham residents in 25 years’ time.
Perhaps the net total of 606,000 in 2022 WAS an isolated case. But even half of that would add millions to our population in a decade.
Are the Tories or Labor even aware of the infrastructure revolution already required to accommodate them?
Or the consequences of doing nothing and simply asking the nation to absorb it?
A lost case
For years, Oxfam has been on its way to its own ruin.
Overrun by keen far-left activists, the once-noble famine charity embarked on an assault on capitalism — after achieving the largest-ever reduction in global poverty.
Then Oxfam covered up the sexual abuse of children by its aides. Now it appears to be demonizing JK Rowling for her mainstream sane views on women’s rights and transgender self-identification.
