Even if you only give tech news a cursory glance each day, you can't have missed the fact there's a lot of concern about the growing use of AI and the demand for tighter regulations. Enter Nick Clegg, Meta's el presidente of global affairs, to assure us it's nothing to be worried about, claiming that the fuss is just like how people reacted to video games 40 years ago.
As reported by The Guardian, Clegg starts his point by making an accurate, if somewhat blindingly obvious, observation: "New technologies always lead to hype." Well, of course. No company is going to spend millions of dollars in research and development, and then not market the heck out of it.
