AI policy needs to bring the public with it

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:45:26 GMT

Seb Wride is director of polling at Public First. Do you think an AI that’s as smart as a human and feels pain like a human should be able to refuse to do what it’s asked to? Like so many other issues, the answer to this question may well depend on one’s age. At Public First, we recently ran polling on AI in the United Kingdom, and found that the youngest and oldest in the country have very different attitudes toward AI. According to our findings, it’s likely that those under 35 in the U.K. will be the first to accept that an AI is conscious and, further, the first to suggest that the AI should be able to reject tasks. AI has very rapidly become a hot topic in the last few months, and like many others, I’ve found myself talking about it almost everywhere with colleagues, family and friends. Despite this, the discussion on what to do about AI has been entirely elite-led. Nobody has voted on it, and in-depth research into what the public thinks regarding the immen...

ChatGPT is entering a world of regulatory pain in Europe

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:45:26 GMT

ChatGPT has set itself up for a rough ride with Europe’s powerful privacy watchdogs.The chatbot is the hottest sensation of artificial intelligence technology but was hit with a temporary ban in Italy last month on the grounds that it could violate Europe’s privacy rulebook, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The Italian ban is just the start of ChatGPT’s troubles, as it opened itself up to privacy cases across the bloc and is running cutting-edge technology that’s irking governments over risks ranging from data protection to misinformation, cybercrime, fraud and cheating on school tests.OpenAI, the organization that created ChatGPT, is walking with a target on its back: It has not set up a local headquarters in one of the European Union’s 27 countries, which means any member country’s data protection authority can launch new investigations and enforce bans. Previously, Google faced a €50 million GDPR fine in France that was imposed before t...

EU’s hopes of using Azerbaijan as a gas station at risk of exploding

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:45:26 GMT

Gas and oil from Azerbaijan are crucial to the EU’s effort to replace Russian fossil fuels — but that’s in danger of becoming entangled in the bloc’s bid to become a power player in the war-torn South Caucasus.The EU has sent a civilian mission to help police the Armenian side of the tense mountainous border between the two countries, which has Azerbaijan warning of foreign interference in its affairs.At the same time, a European Parliament report condemning Azerbaijan’s human rights record is sparking howls of outrage from the country.All of that is casting a shadow over the EU’s high-profile deal with Azerbaijan to double its annual gas deliveries to the bloc to 20 billion cubic meters by 2027.Speaking to POLITICO on condition of anonymity, a senior official in the EU’s diplomatic service bemoaned the fact that the monitoring mission seems to have soured relations. “We were hoping for a different scenario with Baku. We are sharing all relevant informa...

Editorial: Nursing workforce needs more men

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:45:26 GMT

In less than two years, the U.S. could face a shortage of up to 450,000 nurses. The health-care system won’t be able to fill this gap with half the potential workforce on the sidelines: More must be done to recruit men into nursing.Men currently comprise about 12% of nurses, up from less than 3% in 1970. Boosting their number would not only ease shortages, but offer a pathway to good jobs for a demographic that has been exiting the workforce in alarming numbers in recent years. Employment growth in some traditionally male sectors, such as manufacturing, has all but vanished.Yet men traditionally haven’t entered nursing because, much like teaching, it’s stigmatized as a female profession — the term “male nurse” is a case in point. Men in nursing tend to be career-switchers, and often include former members of the military, police officers and firefighters. In short: civic-minded workers drawn to the six-figure salaries, career progression and flexible schedules, with the added bonus ...
