1 年I came across this Bloomberg article ?"AI Backlash May Bring UK Social Unrest, Infosys Partner Says" ?published on 25th October 2023 at https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-10-24/ai-backlash-may-bring-social-unrest-to-uk-infosys-boss-says Reading this article , I have a query on conflict of interest. ? What steps are UK government taking to prevent? lobbying by AI and Big Tech vendors? Are there any guidelines in the UK for politicians, civil servants if their family have shares/investment in tech companies (for example, conflict of interest of benefiting from profits in shares in tech companies involved in AI) ?? Big Tech and AI companies are getting even more powerful than governments. Will this lead to the rise of Billionaire Tech CEOs as the most powerful rulers of the world in the future? What will be the impact of this for humanity?
