Former science minister Nusrat Ghani suggested that AI could also be ‘harnessed’ to bring ‘Parliament closer to the public’
Nusrat Ghani, the UK Deputy Speaker, has expressed concerns that AI could threaten democracy and election integrity in Europe by enabling foreign interference and misinformation. Although a study by the Alan Turing Institute found limited evidence of AI significantly impacting recent elections, Ghani stresses the importance of responsibly harnessing AI. She is spearheading an AI steering group to ensure transparency and accuracy in its use. Additionally, Ghani highlights concerns about biases in AI, particularly from non-democratic countries, and its potential influence on public discourse and political engagement.
