A Labour peer has taken a novel approach to draw attention to the growing presence of artificial intelligence (AI) in our daily lives. Lord Knight of Weymouth delivered a speech in the House of Lords entirely composed by AI, demonstrating how this technology is "infiltrating everyday life."
Lord Knight proposed an amendment to the Online Safety Bill, aiming to ensure that AI-generated content on social media platforms is appropriately labelled. He argued that such labelling would empower individuals to make informed decisions and safeguard against misinformation and manipulation in the digital era.
In a surprising revelation towards the end of his speech, Lord Knight disclosed that his entire speaking note had been generated by AI. He emphasized, "I do so not to belittle the amendment, but to illustrate that these tools are already infiltrating everyday life."
