The United Kingdom's Department for Science, Innovation & Technology (DSIT) has signed a new "memorandum of understanding" with OpenAI, a non-binding document that will nevertheless see the unaccountable chatbot maker thrusting its technology into any area of the UK public sector that smells vaguely like money.
Ain't life grand. For its part, the UK's Labour government says this is all part of its plans to build the country into an AI powerhouse: DSIT will work with OpenAI to identify areas where "advanced AI models" can be used, and the company will also somehow be involved in so-called "AI growth zones."
