variety.com: A news special on Britain’s Channel 4 titled “Will AI Take My Job?” investigated how automation is reshaping the workplace and pitting humans against machines. At the end of the hour-long program, a major twist was revealed: the anchor, who narrates and appears throughout the telecast reporting from different locations, was entirely AI-generated.

Honestly, this article genuinely disgusts me. Not in shame towards the article itself, but the subject matter and situation at hand which it describes. The threat of AI is seriously terrifying in the access individuals and companies have towards using with limited ethical restrictions right now. While this particular story is about a British news network and they seem to take a more withdrawn approach to their usage of AI, the implications of this are even scarier in my opinion towards the United States. With our current administration removing AI restrictions in exploration of industry and the daily lives of its citizens (Palantir’s specifically comes to mind), now is the time more than ever to advocate for limitations of the normalization of AI in our society. While it is always true that AI has incredible potential and uses for the future of humanity, in seeing how something so mundane to the average person as watching a news channel host being taken over by AI, a dystopic future creeps nearer and nearer if serious conversations about limiting AI are not had for the direction we’re heading in.
