A row over ministers' pandemic WhatsApp messages and warnings about the dangers of AI lead the papers.
A number of Wednesday's papers lead with a row between the the government and the Covid-19 inquiry over calls to submit WhatsApp messages exchanged between former PM Boris Johnson and others during the pandemic. The Daily Telegraph says the Cabinet Office initially refused to hand over the messages, arguing some were not relevant, but then hours before the deadline on Tuesday claimed it did not have them.
The Times quotes Dr Carissa Veliz, from the institute for ethics in AI at Oxford University, saying the technology "can create huge destruction short of existential risk" and that the focus on such risks distracts from "more pressing issues, like the erosion of demise of democracy, that CEOs of certain companies do not want to face".
