Disappointed not to see reference to the shortage of midwives, and the challenging ratios of births to midwives. Years of stringing cuts have their effects on all aspects of health.

Please could you spread this sensible petition? If you are in UK.

I'm so worried it'll be left too late and we'll be exactly like US. Doomed and broken.

Petition: Ensure plurality of political coverage across UK broadcast media at all times
We want to ensure that a plurality of views from all political parties in Westminster are represented and the nations parliaments are heard all year round, not just election times. The rules for coverage during elections should apply at all times.

So the catch is that not only does AI have to REALLY know the subject being investigated in very great depth but the user also needs to REALLY know the subject already to spot “hallucinations.”

So are students going to be trained to use it but also be required to prove the sources it depends on?
