AI has made it way too easy to clone President Biden's voice

Digital pound consultation: User privacy and access to cash key concerns
Responding to a consultation exercise that kicked off in February, HM Treasury and the Bank of England emphasise that no final decision has been made to pursue a digital pound. Instead, work will continue during the design phase exploring its feasibility and potential design choices. The feedback from respondents from a range of industries and organisations was largely supportive of the proposed design set out in the 2023 Consultation Paper, while other respondents raised concerns about the implications of a digital pound for access to cash, users’ privacy, and control of their money. To address these concerns, HM Treasury confirms that if a digital pound were to be implemented, primary legislation would be introduced, and this would guarantee users’ privacy and control.
