A political aide reportedly asked ChatGPT for feedback on a draft of Andy Burnham’s speech to the Welsh Labour conference. The chatbot suggested making it “a little more emotive”, but the suggestions were reportedly not used.
Why it mattersThe Daily Post says a No 10 spokesperson stated that Burnham writes most of his own speeches and that the aide sought feedback on an already-written draft. That is a small but concrete glimpse of how generative AI is being tried in political work, rather than evidence that it wrote the speech.
Discuss: Should political offices disclose when staff use AI to edit or advise on speeches, even when its suggestions are not used?
