It's OK - they'll iron out all the fantasy with the AI projects for the magical Northern Irish high-tech border. Maybe even re-use some cold. Of course, people will get diagnosed with carrying cheese and Guinness, but even AI written by unicorns can make mistakes. Those mistakes will be corrected with the AI developed for taking down censored content by those nasty web companies. And whatever the next problem is, it will apply to that too.
Honestly, teaching politicians a new phrase is just so dangerous. Like the time when cool dudes started "pinging" messages to each other.
