According to the report from BBC on May 24th, Ofgem stated that the energy price cap in the UK will drop by 7% before the July election. This means that the annual energy bill for an average household in July will decrease by 122 pounds. For the whole year, the latest quarterly cap in England, Wales, and Scotland means that a household using typical gas and electricity will pay 1,568 pounds. This is a decrease compared to the current level of 1,690 pounds per year, reaching the lowest level in two years. This policy affects the gas and electricity bills of 29 million households, but it will not affect customers in Northern Ireland, where industry regulation is different but prices are also dropping. However, the bills are still far higher than before the pandemic. The continuously dropping energy prices have pushed the inflation rate to its lowest level in nearly three years. Further declines will continue to affect the inflation rate and may create more momentum for the Central Bank to lower interest rates.

Greg Rutkowski was outraged by this and contacted the development team of the corresponding LoRA model, who only said that if Rutkowski asked to remove the model, they would delete it. The corresponding development team also "replied" Greg Rutkowski, warning that "artists cannot stop the trend of the times", due to the existence of open source models, even if they delete the relevant training data in the model according to Greg Rutkowski's feedback, there will be more model learning Art style by Greg Rutkowski. Greg Rutkowski said that due to the existence of some "arrogant" development teams, artificial intelligence may "ignore copyright" on the grounds of "open source innocence", thus posing a threat to the entire art industry and making human artists face a series of anti-customer-oriented impacts.

According to IT House citing a BBC report, the UK is planning to provide a new type of artificial intelligence technology to all NHS (National Health Service System) trusts at a cost price, which can help doctors calculate the placement of radiotherapy radiation beams faster, Thereby effectively reducing the time for patients to receive radiotherapy. The AI, called InnerEye, was jointly trained by Microsoft and Addenbrooke's Hospital in the UK. After training, the AI can draw the contour details of the human body with 90% accuracy, and the doctor will still check the drawing results manually. In about two-thirds of cases, doctors can use the mapping results directly for radiation therapy without any modification, which is 2.5 times faster than previous scanning and mapping. The NHS AI Lab has given £500,000 to Addenbrooke's Hospital to fund the necessary safety checks and assessments. The UK government has been investing in artificial intelligence projects in the NHS, and InnerEye is the first NHS-funded AI-assisted program in medical imaging.
