Sunak's AI speech raises fears of worker exploitation and missed opportunities
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak delivers a speech setting out how he will address the dangers presented by artificial intelligence while harnessing its benefits at the Royal Society, Carlton House Terrace, in London, October 26, 2023

Yet he added that the Tories would not “rush to regulate” AI and offered no policy framework to make the most of its potential benefits.
