Sounds like Sunak is trying to pry medical assessment out of the hands of doctors/other current professionals and into the realm of the more “economically motivated” shall we say. As well as potentially downplaying just how serious a concern the state of mental health response is in…I was going to say Britain but in a lot of countries honestly.
AI is about to become a necessity for basically every industry. It’s to be expected that those on top are making sure they stay on top. I can’t even really fault them for it (although I do fault how greedily they go about it), but I also want government intervention to protect citizens from it. “It” being unethical/harmful business practices.
It’s really important to get news like this out, because backdoor cartel-style deals between big companies is basically accepted business practice now. Companies don’t charge what things cost to provide, or what it takes to make a reasonable profit - they charge what they can get away with and if that means collaborating with “competitors” then that’s not an issue.
