Hi, you’re meant to be our advocacy group? This decision sucks. My books were stolen by AI companies, as were millions of books by other writers; it’s the biggest copyright theft in human history — there is no ethical AI when the technology itself is predicated on IP theft

ADHD and autism at risk of over-diagnosis, says report, as author warns of rise in mental ill health Summary • An official review in England finds there is a risk of people being over-diagnosed with ADHD and autism - three key findings from the report • As well as neurodevelopmental conditions, the review looks at mental ill health, particularly in younger people. Our health correspondent explains the difference • It was commissioned earlier this year after Wes Streeting, then the health secretary, said there was an "over-diagnosis" of mental health conditions • Speaking to Radio 4's Today programme earlier, review chair Prof Peter Fonagy said Streeting was "with respect, completely wrong"
