Ai can already make and respond to commercial calls. Rather than torture a generation that can't schmooze (for which I have sympathy), teach them to TTS and NLP. You'll make a fortune.

Building an Api to verify all the sources cited are legitimate will take around half an hour; if you have an academic organisation that doesn't use agentic modelling, I don't know what to say.

I don't understand most of this slop journalism, or what you hope to gather from it.
1/academic engines literally look at BILLIONS of sources.
2/the most well-knownn engines (eg. Perplexity/Semantic Scholar) are focused on sourcing peer-evaluated papers.

It's probably not the wisest of moves.
We're moving towards Ai Soverignty, which is problematic for Europe because of non-competitive rules against the US in terms of Article 6. The UK isn't tied to that, and can therefore decouple from US Ai hegenomy and strengthen its security.

Empathy is a bad thing, btw.
I'm not sure why this journalist thinks otherwise - at worst empathy is "feeling" the worst aspects of another person who is "experiencing" the debilitating aspects of their pathology.
In other words, empathy is the tool of the enabler - of confirming their suspicions.

They fall under the neurosis of Freud's uncanny.
In poor communities, outsiders are considered problematic - they represent extractive labour; in other words, are part of colonial history. Presence in Scotland

The worst aspects of positivism is to assume you may be "defined" & "controlled" by a particular chemical cosh.
By all means be more self-reflexively aligned & "in touch with yourself" if that's your thing & it makes you happy. However, the medicalization of culture is pernicious in the extreme.

I do kind of get it: the use of the headline is performative, and makes use of the sentiment of the charity that exults a fight against "racism and anti-migrant rhetoric."
