UK Tech Secretary consults ChatGPT for policy insights

UK Tech Secretary Peter Kyle has sought advice from ChatGPT on policy matters, including why small businesses are slow to adopt AI technology. He also asked for podcast recommendations to reach a wider audience. ChatGPT suggested popular podcasts like The Infinite Monkey Cage and The Naked Scientists for Mr. Kyle to consider. The minister has previously stated that he uses the AI tool to better understand innovations and their backgrounds. In response to Mr. Kyle's inquiry, ChatGPT identified factors hindering AI adoption, such as limited awareness, regulatory concerns, and lack of support for small businesses. The UK government has launched initiatives to promote AI, but many businesses remain unaware.
