I hope you aren’t having an affair with ChatGPT. Because that would make you weird – though by no means alone – as more than one million people per week make romantic or sexual overtures to their smokin’ large language model of choice.
TL;DR
- HMRC may be able to request AI chatbot histories from taxpayers and AI platforms.
- The government is expanding surveillance powers, including taking photos of houses and monitoring online tax discussions.
- HMRC is extending its reach into cryptocurrency and digital financial records.
- Critics have labeled these measures a "snoopers' charter" and fear a slide towards a surveillance state.
- These measures are presented as tools for fairness and efficiency but are seen as a monumental overreach.
