Just discovered that the BBC News channel (UK) is now carried live on YouTube - I’m assuming UK only.
Most surprised that they’ve left the comments on. The opportunities for libel, or subjudice - or worse - seem obvious. Really?!

![In a panel session at The Podcast Show, Inception Point AI’s CEO Jeanine Wright said that the company will no longer produce AI content with voices claiming to be doctors - something Podnews highlighted last month. “We are not any more calling [AI-generated hosts] doctors or any kind of licensed or health professional or licensed expert. They will still describe themselves as an expert or having been well read and well studied in a space. We take fiction liberties with the way that our personalities describe who they are, but always after disclosing.” However, asked by Dan Kendall of healthpodcast.org whether she would remove all existing shows where the voice claims they are a medical doctor, she declined. “We have not taken down any content we have ever made,” she said. Another audience member called her work “upsetting, apocalyptic, and incredibly disappointing”.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:32h4ptadbwgptk5sble77vpe/bafkreie2e326zxabtwubffzfcr657huqrdmfsfb6ue3aesef7xtw36oxaq)
