AI is creating more work, not less, author warns

Artificial intelligence, particularly tools like ChatGPT, is paradoxically increasing administrative burdens rather than reducing them, according to commentary by Gaby Hinsliff.

This surge requires significant human effort to sift through, potentially negating the efficiency gains and even causing paralysis in government and legal systems. AI
