Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said the UK will probably hold a general election next year, suggesting he’s unlikely to let the Conservative Party’s term in office run to its limit.

In a dialog on artificial intelligence with the world’s richest man, Elon Musk, Sunak addressed a question on false images from an audience member, saying that he himself had been a victim of a doctored image. With major countries holding elections in 2024, that will become an issue for the first time, he said.
