Most of the front page is dominated by UK news – though a spot is left to cover the LA wildfires. There is coverage of the government’s plans to expand AI use in the UK’s public sector as well as a recent poll that suggests young people are shunning democracy in favour of “strong leaders without elections”. The ongoing cold snap – (and the rising flu cases) also make the front page.
From schools to potholes: huge expansion of AI in public sector
The government is set to unveil its AI plans today, a story The Guardian has chosen to lead with on their front page. The paper says the PM is to announce a massive investment into AI despite fears of its effects.
“Artificial intelligence will be “mainlined into the veins” of the nation, ministers have announced, with a multibillion-pound investment in the UK’s computing capacity despite widespread public fear about the technology’s effects.”
