Within the European
Union research is
being carried out in
various industries to
attempt to create a
thoughtful approach
to rules, but at the
same time some
member states, such
as Italy, have taken a
firmer approach and
h a v e c u r r e n t l y
banned certain AI
applications altogether. Similarly in the US, the Federal Government is assessing the
impact of AI, while some states are looking to draft rules quickly.
Locally, the best kind of protection against scams and fraud is to be aware of the
risks, be aware of the warning signs, and to spread the word about what to do if
you become affected by scams. You can join 4000 people in Dorset who have
already learnt more by becoming a ‘Friend Against Scams’ at

BERE REGIS WI

July's meeting of the WI saw members visiting
Wimborne to attempt to complete a competition
supplied by the T.I.C. Agreeing to meet in the
square, the first stop was for a cup of tea! [it being
a warm afternoon!] We were each given a sheet of
15 pictures depicting local shops around the town
as they were in the past. The objective was to find those shops and complete the
sheet as to their present wares. Chimneys, windows, doorways were all scrutinised
as well as brickwork patterns and other identifiable clues. A score of 10 was
deemed creditable but as there was no answer sheet available it was agreed
that an enjoyable afternoon was had by all and a winner was unnecessary.
