UK government urged to offer more transparency over OpenAI deal

The UK government has signed a wide-ranging agreement with the US tech company OpenAI, worth $300 billion, which has raised concerns over the transparency and use of public data. Chi Onwurah, the chair of the House of Commons select committee on science, innovation, and technology, has called for greater transparency and assurances that public data will remain in the UK and that the public will be informed about the extent of OpenAI's access to this data. Onwurah has also highlighted past "major failures" in data use, which have eroded public trust, and emphasized the need for the government to reassure the public about the deal's implications.
