Boris Johnson discussed the potential of Chat GPT in reducing care costs in a recent interview.
"You know suddenly you’re going to be onto bringing the costs down."
Johnson expressed his enthusiasm for the technology, stating it could help make care more affordable for older people and those with disabilities.
He noted that caring for these groups, as well as the broader welfare system, is "an absolute fortune."
"If you have automated systems that can engage with people and say ‘ah Mrs Miggins, it’s time for your pill. Do you need any help with your shopping?"
However, it is pointed out that while AI can provide prompts and reminders, it cannot replace human care.
