BBC Faces Scrutiny Over Responsible AI Principal with Controversial Background

A post questions the BBC's choice of Hicham Yezza for its responsible AI role, citing his 2009 jail sentence for immigration deception and past statements about Israel and Hamas. It contrasts his role guiding AI news representation with the BBC's criticism of an AI-assisted analysis of its Israel-Hamas coverage. The BBC says, according to the post, that the case and statements predate his employment and he has not breached its social-media rules while working there.
