Keir Starmer’s Teenage Son Gives Him ChatGPT Masterclasses

Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has revealed that his 14-year-old son has been teaching him about artificial intelligence (AI). Speaking at London Tech Week, Sir Keir said he was impressed by the potential of the rapidly evolving sector to modernize the NHS and cited radiologists using AI to detect cancer as a positive example. However, he also cautioned that the technology could lead to the widening of inequality between the richest and poorest and be used to spread misinformation. The Labour leader’s comments come as the UK government seeks to promote the development and regulation of AI, with Prime Minister Rishi Sunak recently meeting with the bosses of tech giants including Google and OpenAI. In addition, a report by former prime minister Tony Blair and former Conservative leader William Hague suggested the UK could establish a national laboratory to test AI to become the brain of a British and international regulator.
