An aide to the Prime Minister used ChatGPT to suggest ways to make a draft speech “a little more emotive”, The Independent reports, citing a photograph published by the Mail on Sunday. The paper says the speech had already been written and the suggestions were not used.
Why it mattersDowning Street said the Prime Minister writes most of his own speeches and described the aide’s request as feedback on a draft. A modest example of AI entering political work, then, rather than a machine at the lectern.
Discuss: Should political staff disclose when they use AI to review speeches, even if its suggestions are not used?
