Description
Could artificial intelligence become a serious threat to the UK? AI-powered cyberattacks, banking disruption, sophisticated scams and deepfake technology are raising new concerns about how safe our increasingly digital world really is.
Some of the world's leading AI researchers have warned that advanced artificial intelligence could eventually become difficult to control, potentially threatening critical infrastructure, financial systems and even humanity itself.
But how much of this is a genuine risk, and how much is speculation?
In this video, we investigate the growing concerns surrounding artificial intelligence, from AI cybercrime and attacks on essential services to voice cloning, financial fraud, misinformation and the possibility of artificial general intelligence (AGI) developing beyond human control.
We also look at how AI could affect jobs, banking security, communications and everyday life in Britain.
Most importantly, we explore practical ways UK households can prepare for potential AI-related disruption, recognise increasingly convincing scams and protect themselves against emerging digital threats.
No science fiction. No unnecessary panic. Just a realistic look at the potential dangers of AI and what you can do to be better prepared.
