Narayan said AI focus groups are less effective for capturing the public’s real-time views on fast-moving news

"But segmentation and views don't change that much, so on broad-brush questions like how should I think about AI, doing static focus groups with that is very useful."

After recent mashing incidents involving OpenAI, Narayan identified Britain's reliance on the US for access to frontier BO models as his “biggest concern” for security

But Narayan said he is "sceptical" about putting his own private data into chatbots and mostly limits his own use of AI to professional settings

He never uses it to write speeches and does not want to limit his own capacity to think for himself
