AI and ChatGPT: Ibrahim Hasan on BBC News Arabic

2023 so far has been all about the rise of artificial intelligence (AI). Alongside the privacy issues, there have been concerns over the potential risks, including its threat to jobs and the spreading of misinformation and bias. AI could replace the equivalent of 300 million full-time jobs, a report by investment bank Goldman Sachs says. It could replace a quarter of work tasks in the US and Europe but may also mean new jobs and a productivity boom. 

Our director, Ibrahim Hasan, recently gave his thoughts on AI machine learning and ChatGPT to BBC News Arabic. You can watch here. If you just want to hear Ibrahim “speak in Arabic” skip the video to 2min 48 secs.

Care Home Records: My BBC Interview

Ibrahim Hasan writes… 

Data Protection law is about protecting peoples’ human rights. When organisations fail to comply, it can have a big impact on peoples’ lives. I was proud to work with the BBC on a recent story which highlights the importance of protecting the personal data of some of the most vulnerable in society. 

Thanks to tenacious journalism by Ben Moore and Tobey Wadey, piles of patient data which were left unsecured in an abandoned care home, more than four years after it was shut down, were finally removed. It included care plans, bank details and photos of injuries we well as information about relatives. The Information Commissioner is now on the case. 

You can watch the BBC report, which includes an interview with me here.
