We heard about the bias. We know that is around how it is designed in terms of who uses it, but there is also bias in what it presents. There is a single individual photograph of a very old pair of hands that I complained about to newspapers for about eight years. The same photo was used every time an older person was mentioned in an article. That, of course, has been turbo-charged. The piece about bias and also inaccuracy. Is there a danger of that kind of information being so available through AI and so turbo-charged that it drowns out things like actual public information sites?
