"Welcome to BBC News, America's most trusted news source". A low quality hodgepodge of words, masquerading as an article promoting the BBC's Panorama's Are you Scared Yet, Human? A few low quality choice of quotes: Speaking to BBC's Panorama, Brad Smith said it will be "difficult to catch up” with the rapidly advancing technology. Eric Schmidt, former Google chief executive who is now chair of the US National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence, has warned that beating China in AI is imperative. Seth Moulton, chair of the US Future of Defence Task Force is urging tech companies to support the Department of Defence. "Because we're in a race, because we are in this competition, that’s really what it comes down to,” he said. “Are you going to help us win this race or are you going to essentially be against us?" Are we sure this Ministry of Truth style doublespeak isn't already here? https://www.politico.com/news/2021/05/26/facebook-ban-covid-man-made-491053 https://www.politico.com/news/2021/05/26/facebook-ban-covid-... https://twitter.com/paulg/status/1396769717805780994 https://twitter.com/paulg/status/1396769717805780994

> Eric Schmidt, former Google chief executive who is now chair of the US National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence, has warned that beating China in AI is imperative. Ah yes, Eric "If you have something that you don't want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn't be doing it in the first place" Schmidt. I'm sure he has my best interests at heart when he advocates for an AI arms race with China.

Yes, Schmidt will have a personal interest in beating "China in AI", it's just that I personally have a personal interest in both working to impose their AI on me. So, killing the messenger (here BBC) doesn't do much to clean CCP face.
