Background

I want the UK government to ban all use of AI in the UK. This should include all AI programs and models.

Additional details

I believe AI is contributing to destroying our planet very fast. Many places don't have clean drinking water but data centres feeding AI are using, and in my view wasting, gallons and gallons of it. I'm concerned that AI is also using artwork without permission from or compensation for artists who are struggling. I think our planet doesn’t have long left if we continue in the state we’re going, and that AI is just speeding it up.
