Healthline Launches Its Own Health Chatbot

Healthline is betting on an AI agent that only answers from its physician-reviewed content, with clinical guardrails built in.

Archbishop of Canterbury pushes Lords to debate AI and human connection

A parliamentary debate doesn't change anything by itself, but this one pulls AI out of the usual circle of tech regulators and puts it in the hands of the Church and Britain's Lords.

practitioners › The motion, brought by the Archbishop of Canterbury, was debated on 5 June 2026 in the House of Lords, with no binding vote attached.
