hello, i'm rajini vaidyanathan. you're watching the context on bbc news. uk housing secretary michael gove apologises for mistakes the government made handling the pandemic and said the country locked down too late. a uk government report, which has been shown first to the bbc, says teachers are using artificial intelligence to save time on routine tasks. teachers said it gave them more time to do "more impactful" work — but the report also warned that al can produce unreliable content. the department for education says the research will help

create future policy. with me is priya lakhani, who's the founder ceo of century tech, an artificial intelligence education technology company that develops ai powered learning tools for schools, colleges, and universities. good to have you in the studio. you obviously have a vested interest in this because your thing is artificial intelligence in schools. how is this going to be used more widely? we've had this report that shows it's already being used by teachers. ,., shows it's already being used by teachers. ., , teachers. the report actually focuses on — teachers. the report actually focuses on generative - teachers. the report actually focuses on generative ai - teachers. the report actually l focuses on generative ai which teachers. the report actually - focuses on generative ai which is a last share of ai, check gpd and large laying two language models with up 62 countries and schools of colleges is about saving teachers time and empowering the students for that i would say teachers spend more than half of the time to cover 60% of their time marking, assessing, try to figure out what intervention is necessary, with which child. i

always say they are teachers by day by data analyst by night. none of them really signed up to do that and it takes enormous amount of time. the way ai is going to be used, you are seeing this with this report using generative ai are seeing this with this report using generative aland classic ai is giving them the inside so they can be more impactful in the classroom. allowing them to make interventions and with generative ai, saving time with things on lesson planning and schemes of work. areas where if you look at the difference between ai and human intelligence, what can we have the teacher do that is really about the human intelligence and that one—on—one interaction? not that think that al could do to save them time. , .,, ., think that al could do to save them time. , ., time. some people would say the 'oy of bein: a time. some people would say the 'oy of being a teacher �* time. some people would say the 'oy of being a teacher in d time. some people would say the 'oy of being a teacher in the joy i time. some people would say the 'oy of being a teacher in the joy ofi of being a teacher in the joy of having a good teacher is a teacher who sits down and thinks about the lesson plan with deep thought. or a good teacher will look at marketing, notjust have a computer during the marking. that's the counter to that. it actually takes away everything thatis it actually takes away everything that is personal about being a teacher. if

that is personal about being a teacher. , ., . that is personal about being a teacher. ., ., that is personal about being a teacher. . . , that is personal about being a teacher. ., ., , ., , teacher. if you have a deep thoughts about lesson — teacher. if you have a deep thoughts about lesson planning _ teacher. if you have a deep thoughts about lesson planning to _ teacher. if you have a deep thoughts about lesson planning to sit - teacher. if you have a deep thoughts about lesson planning to sit there i about lesson planning to sit there to sit there and type the whole thing? does mean in al can come up with the structure because i absolutely used to review that and be able to apply what you doing for that there is no teacher will look at marketing, notjust have a computer doing the marking. that's the counter to that. it actually takes away everything that is personal about being a teacher. if you have a deep thoughts about lesson plan does that mean you have to sit there and type the whole thing? does mean in al can come up with a structure because i absolutely used to review that and be able to apply what you doing for that there is no change out there that there is no change out there that i've met who's saying ijust allow this to do my work for me at all vital. what they're saying is that if that lesson plan needs to be created and i use myself to be able to review it and tweak it for my own purposes that i could spend more time for him but sitting there with the children are having more of an impact with them. that's what they're trying to do. there is no argument that teachers work day and night, weekends, we think about long holidays, they don't. if you're using it in every other sector of the world to help everyone else why can't we use it in education? find can't we use it in education? and other artificial _ can't we use it in education? and other artificial intelligence story you wanted to get to while we have you wanted to get to while we have you here. meanwhile in india, there's been much controversy over indian celebrities being targeted by deepfake videos. indian actress rashmika mandanna,

who fell victim to such a hack, has urged people to not share deep fake material, highlighting the urgent need for new ai regulations and safeguards. and just to illustrate how commonplace this is becoming, priya, i'm going to play you this. ..every millisecond and closes the deal with a 98% success rate. also, elon said that each resident will be able to earn an income of fiveteen and 700 pounds per day, no matter who you are, whether you're a housewife, a worker, or a waiter. this software works on any device, phone, laptop, ortablet. with this new project from elon musk, you will be able to earn income every day without any hassle. anyone can connect to the platform. and so, here's elon, who will tell you more of the project. i'll tell you more - about that in a moment. first... i have been deep faithful to i don't

know if that's a badge of honour but it's quite worrying. according to the elon musk, doesn't sound like me. it authentic. you the elon musk, doesn't sound like me. it authentic.— me. it authentic. you found that because i _ me. it authentic. you found that because i was — me. it authentic. you found that because i was sent _ me. it authentic. you found that because i was sent it _ me. it authentic. you found that because i was sent it to - me. it authentic. you found that i because i was sent it to you, that's a real problem when there are a thousand. this is what is happening, you don't need to be an expert using this technology to produce a deep fake these days it's a huge ball, i don't disagree, we need to regulate deep fake fur that we need to act faster than lawmakers are acting at the moment. that has been movement and i recognise that. especially when it comes to pornographic images for that there's been a movement in the uk about that in different states of the us and across the world. the problem is a fine line between free speech, and i respect the argument of free speech and conning people. and what policymakers have to understand is that if you don't regulate deep fakes you are actually threatening free legitimate speech. we saw that in the middle east, we look at the

lightest of it and it was sad about. people are going to look at authentic real images and videos and start to question whether they are authentic. this is where you have a problem. let's bring our panel and nandez. you are talking about people being conned, does that mean i can't put on my cv that i interviewed elon musk? let's bring tom and erica interviewed the discussion. tom, it wasn't too long ago that rishi sunak wasn't too long ago that rishi sunak was hosting an ai stomach and he did meet elon musk. whether you concurrently or not, we talk about safeguards that are in place. what does rishi sunak want to do in terms of safeguards? i does rishi sunak want to do in terms of safeguards?— of safeguards? i don't think anybody not back to of safeguards? i don't think anybody got back to previous _ of safeguards? i don't think anybody got back to previous gas _ of safeguards? i don't think anybody got back to previous gas has - of safeguards? i don't think anybody got back to previous gas has two - of safeguards? i don't think anybody got back to previous gas has two as| got back to previous gas has two as kirk correct, — got back to previous gas has two as kirk correct, deep face can be revealed _ kirk correct, deep face can be revealed by safeguards, clearly shown— revealed by safeguards, clearly shown to — revealed by safeguards, clearly shown to be what they are i don't think_ shown to be what they are i don't think rishi — shown to be what they are i don't think rishi sunak has got an answer and how— think rishi sunak has got an answer and how you do that. i don't like anybody has built up that stuff you show, _ anybody has built up that stuff you show. i _ anybody has built up that stuff you show, i don't think you can

health check and they are seen by doctors to ensure that if they do have any injuries of any sort they can get urgent medical treatment. that is what we're seeing now live picture of the airbase. all of this comes as 30 palestinian who held in israeli jails were also released this evening. 15 miners and 15 women. we're did in day five of this temporary truce. and there are negotiations to try and extend that truce. we will break away from those pictures briefly. because priya lakhani, our intelligence expert is still with me and our panel is with us. we were talking with the panel about how there are concerns that deep fakes can change the

information war that's already difficult to contend with as danica was saying. we also talked about an indian actress is calling for safeguards with that if you had to as an expert in this field bring in place three orfour as an expert in this field bring in place three or four safeguards you would suggest to the prime minister and other world leaders, president biden and president modi in india, what would they be? i just biden and president modi in india, what would they be?— what would they be? i 'ust call on leuuislatin what would they be? i 'ust call on regrsranng this h what would they be? i 'ust call on legislating this area _ what would they be? ijust call on legislating this area and stop - legislating this area and stop sitting on their hands. what does that mean? practically, what is the redress? that's what were looking for. there's two areas with a proactive regulation, what we ask that companies to do proactively. talking about risk analysis and trying to understand what could happen on their platforms. you'd want a global collaboration on that. because tech has no bounds. also, if there are deep codes against seller what are the redress? you can go to

defamation, privacy, harassment, it's an absolute mess. when we look at the pornographic material they've actually done something extraordinary in the uk and they've reduced what you need to take someone to have criminal proceedings against someone if they use your image in such a way. the reason why is because for criminal proceedings to go forward you need to be able to prove their somebody intended to cause distress for the you don't need to prove intention now as in the case of sensitive images. if we got the president they are then can that be extended into other areas? i think that's the big question that they're going to have to debate and ask. but talking about the first amendment in the us and looking... we all understand but it is created such a problem, we talked about weapon rising information. what we're seeing in the middle east, which is extraordinary what happened in the middle east when people are questioning the authentic and true images. right now are lucky to have global news channels will be become

to the news and they want to see what's happening in the world. when people receive social media news and ask an increase of talent that we really need to move quickly when it comes to deep fake and fake news. thank you very much to priya lakhani for bringing us the latest on the world of artificial intelligence. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. bbc news bringing you different stories from across the uk. cyber technology has become embedded in our daily lives our phones, our cars, how our data is processed. it's constantly evolving, but brings security risks as well to the public businesses. to the public businesses, the government. the northwest is now at the heart of the cyber economy, and at this career�*s event, schoolchildren have been practising the skills needed to develop cyber technology and take on the threats it poses. it was a lot of fun, but the skills that we need is to persevere and to communicate. do you think something like this

would be good as a job later on? yeah. the north west is becoming a cyber corridor stretching from manchester through to preston and onto lancaster. manchester has the government's intelligence agency hub, while preston has businesses like bae systems and will have the national cyber force protecting the country from cyber attacks. for more stories from across the uk, head to the bbc news website. you're live with bbc news. let's ta ke let's take you like role model. bring youth the seen there, as you can see —— from allah. a lot of flags being waived. and it comes as 30 palestinian who were held in israeli jails have been freed under this temporary truce deal. as you can see there, busy streets in

ramallah. it comes as 12 hostages were re—leased by hamas and they have now left gaza. plenty more on bad story on the bbc news website and our life page. moving onto another major story here the uk. the cabinet minister michael gove has been giving evidence to the covid inquiry — the first of the government's key decision—makers in 2020 to appear. he apologised to victims and bereaved families for mistakes made by the government during the pandemic. mr gove said he had to take his share of responsibility for the errors made. i want to take this opportunity, if i may, my lady, to apologise to the victims who endured so much pain, the families who endured so much loss as a result of the mistakes that were made by government in response

to the pandemic. michael gove there. anneke and tom. tom sent you right for a british newspaper i want to get your take on today's evidence by mr gove. mast newspaper i want to get your take on today's evidence by mr gove. most of the cabinet will _ today's evidence by mr gove. most of the cabinet will take _ today's evidence by mr gove. most of the cabinet will take turns _ today's evidence by mr gove. most of the cabinet will take turns to - the cabinet will take turns to appear before the inquiry and most will apologise at some point or another. there's already been a lot of apologies. clearly wrong decisions were made at the start of the pandemic. that is debatable. and borisjohnson was not the pandemic. that is debatable. and boris johnson was not the the pandemic. that is debatable. and borisjohnson was not the right leader at that particular moment. but what you don't want is for that to cloud what the purpose of the inquiry is to be, which is how can we learn lessons and how can we respond better should something like this ever happen again. the why did they respond in such a sluggish way

in so many areas? that is the bigger question i don't know of the public want to be apologised to buy politicians over again. strangely, might not expect me to say this but i don't like this idea that the politicians almost became seen as the virus, at the light. the way there for all these people died. it doesn't really encourage people to go into politics. it doesn't make politics better. we know that the leadership did he do well but we also know the scientist hadn't made up also know the scientist hadn't made up with the correct response was at that moment in time. they didn't know there was a fax on doing that faxing coming and so on. we all know this. —— vaccine. i hope the inquiry gets to the bottom of the real structural failures of the deeper state, if you like, i don't mean that in conspiratorial sense. ijust want the politicians to respond. triage want the politicians to respond. now it's time for — want the politicians to respond. now it's time for the _ want the politicians to respond. now it's time for the panel. this is

hello again. we had more sunshine around today, but it's getting cold very quickly now where we have those clear skies. it feels cold enough already, but the next few days are going to get even colder, more frost around, few wintry showers. but for many places, the next few days are going to be dry. colder air, though, is coming down from scandinavia and it follows this weather front here, which is moving its way southward, bringing some showers. but it's across northern scotland and also across some north—eastern parts of england, away from the coast that we're going to see some snow and icy conditions. maybe up to five centimetres over higher routes in northern scotland, a centimetre or two in the far north—east of england. a few showers moving southwards across other parts of england and wales, these are of rain. those keep it cloudy across the far south and south—west. so here temperatures mayjust remain above freezing by the end of the night,

but elsewhere it looks like it's going to be frosty and temperatures could be as low as minus seven or so in some parts of scotland. those showers in the south—west will tend to fade away, the cloud slowly tending to break up. but the showers, i think, will continue in northern scotland running down these north sea coast. and again, there will be of a wintry flavour. snow mainly over the hills i think over northern scotland. but away from here a lot of dry weather, more in the way of sunshine, again. it's going to be colder than it was today too in glasgow, only four degrees maximum in birmingham. into that cold air there is this area of low pressure here. now, again, it looks like it isjust steering to the south of the uk, but it's getting close and we will see some rain through the english channel. there is a risk of some snow perhaps over dartmoor, but it looks like it is mostly rain. essentially, we're still in that colder air. a few more wintry showers there coming in to the north—east on that breeze, but the winds are quite light. for many after a frosty start, it will be dry once again. and again, it's going to be cold temperatures three or four, maybe five degrees.

and that's a bit colder than we'd expect at this time of the year. this is the temperature anomaly chart full of blue there across the uk. colder than average, colder than average across much of europe. and that's where we're going to see most of the snow. there won't be too much of that here in the uk, but for the first few days of december we're still in colder air, frosty by night, mostly sunny by day. just a few wintry showers here and there.

tonight at ten — we speak to the british israeli family of a hostage just freed from captivity in gaza. 75 year old ada sagi — is one of a dozen hostages released in the last few hours — her family tell us of their joy. it's such a huge relief. we have just finished a video call with her. she's sharp, she's funny, she's witty, she's her old self. an escalating row between britain and greece over the parthenon sculptures or elgin marbles — we're live in greece. the cancellation of a meeting in downing street has caused anger in athens with one minister saying it was an insult to all greeks, amid growing calls for the marbles to be returned to this very place.
