The Inter-Parliamentary Union urged politicians to pilot the use of learning bots in its latest study. It said: “Parliaments are encouraged to begin experimenting with GenAI to save time with tasks such as producing summaries of texts and creating records of debates.”
But it added: “However, parliaments need to be extremely cautious about introducing GenAI in core legislative systems at this stage.”
But some fed-up voters backed replacing floundering Mr Sunak, above, and his ministers with machines. Retired Frank Norman joked that the tech would be an improvement on disastrous former PM “Lettuce” Liz Truss.
