Following this incident, the BBC explored the capabilities of several AI platforms, including OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Gemini. While acknowledging that AI can be valuable when applied correctly, BBC Programme Director Pete Archer highlighted the considerable problems AI poses for both audiences and the information ecosystem in the UK. This research serves as a cautionary tale highlighting the ongoing challenges in AI content generation.
AI will bring real value when it's used responsibly, but AI also brings significant challenges for audiences, and the UK's information ecosystem.
