Africa-Press – Mauritius. <\/strong><\/span>Rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) could pose a threat to democracy during the upcoming presidential election in the US and parliamentary elections in the UK, Dame Wendy Hall, a member of the UK government\u2019s AI Council, said on Thursday.<\/p>\n

\u201cNext year, we will see a growth in disinformation, the deep fakes of this world, because AI makes it very easy to do that,\u201d she said in an interview with a UK broadcaster.<\/p>\n

Hall pointed out that the risk AI could pose today is more important than \u201cworrying about an existential threat in a hundred years\u2019 time,\u201d which, in her opinion, is a possibility, but very unlikely at the moment.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m glad we\u2019re taking a lead that we need to think about global regulation in the area of AI in the same way as we think about climate science,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The expert added that, despite all the risks, AI technologies could also help politicians make information briefs as they \u201coften talk about things they don\u2019t know anything about.\u201d<\/p>\n

UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak\u2019s administration said earlier this year that the first global AI summit is set to take place in the UK this autumn to discuss the potential risks of AI and ways to overcome them.<\/p>\n
