Education officials investigated eight hundred and seventy six exam breaches
last year, two hundred and fifty percent more than in

(00:24):
twenty nineteen. Fifty nine investigations were officially linked to AI use. However,
AI is believed to have played a part in many others.

AI written books, favoring human authors, but they're relying on
publishers to ensure AI works don't find their way onto shelves.

to shut them down in real time. Banking Association Chief
Executive Roger Beaumont says it will make a difference if
all participants play their part, particularly of the digital platforms
or social media companies. They need to actually play a

Duncan Grieve says magazines used to be money making machines,
with a lot of premium brands putting the bulk of
the advertising budget towards them. That kind of suffers has
