Despite bold statements, a lot of companies are failing to produce tangible results, according to Edward J Achtner, the head of generative AI for U.K. banking giant HSBC . One example he gave was a partnership that HSBC has in place with internet search titan Google on the use of AI technology anti-money laundering and fraud mitigation. Boteju stressed that Lloyds is "proceeding with caution" when it comes to exposing the bank's customers to generative AI tools. Generative AI, on the other hand, is a more nascent technology, according to the Lloyds exec.

Actor Stephen Fry issued a warning about AI cloning his voice at the CogX Festival on Thursday. Fry said his readings of the "Harry Potter" audiobooks were input into an AI and used to create new audio. Fry said it won't be long before AI is used to create "deepfake videos" of actors without consent. "They used my reading of the seven volumes of the Harry Potter books, and from that dataset, an AI of my voice was created, and it made that new narration." "It won't be long until full deepfake videos are just as convincing," he said.
