South Korean President Lee Jae Myung publicly shared a Gemini-generated response to support his position in a political dispute. US President Donald Trump says he uses AI too, but declined to explain how.
Why it mattersThe dispute concerned whether the heads of investigative agencies should attend Cabinet meetings. Lee’s office said he used Gemini to check legal facts, not to make government decisions; opposition politicians criticised his reliance on a chatbot. The Korea Times reports that Trump confirmed using AI but offered no detail about his personal use. Two leaders, two very different levels of disclosure, and a familiar question about where chatbot advice belongs in public life.
Discuss: Should elected officials disclose when AI informs their public arguments, even if they say it is only being used to check facts?
