Google is to disband an AI ethics panel in the UK after disagreements emerged between its local DeepMind research unit and other members. The panel was established to improve how AI is harnessed across a variety of sectors. Setting such guidelines proved a difficult task, with panel members complaining they were not being given full access to information and research. Its studies included AI's effects on data privacy and the troubling matter of screen addiction among children. In early April, Google disbanded another high-profile, independent ethics council following protests over the panel's make-up.
