New Brunswick Politician Uses AI to Write Speech

PCs are working on an AI policy for their members after an MLA used AI for a speech.

A Progressive Conservative MLA used artificial intelligence to prepare a speech for the New Brunswick Legislature.

A video of the speech's most obvious AI moments is shared on social media.

The MLA, Bill Oliver, says he has learned a lesson from this experience.

Oliver used AI to help prepare his speaking notes during the spring session.

He said this about the incident.

Oliver did not remove AI prompts from his speech, which caused concern among many people.

He gave the speech on June 9 during a discussion about creating an energy advocate position.

The use of generative AI at the N.B. Legislature is causing a buzz. It is generating a lot of talk.

There were three instances in the speech where Oliver's AI use was obvious.

Oliver read out AI-generated words, including a section that sounded like a legislative speech.

Despite using AI, Oliver insists that his thoughts were his own.

Oliver said AI is a tool that should not replace our ability to express thoughts and convictions.

He learned a lesson from this experience and says the sentiment of his speech was his own.

The interim PC leader, Glen Savoie, is satisfied with Oliver's response to the incident.

Savoie said it was a learning experience for Oliver and that he has taken responsibility.

Savoie believes that it is important for politicians to make sure their voices are heard in the legislature.

The PC caucus is working on creating an AI policy for its members.

The Liberal caucus does not have a policy about members' use of AI.

The Green caucus has a policy on AI and is against using it in politics.

Green MLA Megan Mitton says she and another MLA are against using AI in the political sphere.

Mitton believes that politicians should use their own brains and thoughts, not AI.

She noticed the AI phrasing in Oliver's speech and called it out that day.

Mitton thinks that generative AI has written many MLAs' speeches, including Oliver's.

She believes the AI speech was boring and prevented legislative work from getting done.

Some bills were not discussed due to the long speech.

The University of New Brunswick has a Responsible AI Research Lab that studies AI use.

The lab director, Mahtab Sarvmaili, says that AI claims need to be verified.

Sarvmaili believes that AI answers may not always be accurate or properly grounded.

It is necessary to double-check AI-generated information to ensure it is valid and factual.

Sarvmaili thinks that AI use always needs to be responsible, especially in government.

She supports placing policies to ensure the responsible adoption of AI.

Mario Levesque, a political science professor, says that responsible AI use includes fact-checking and source-checking.

Levesque believes that AI is a tool that can be used, but facts must be verified.

He worries that AI policies may not keep up with the rapid changes in AI technology.

Mitton agrees and wants to see policies implemented for all parties at the legislature.

She thinks it is essential for politicians to express their own thoughts and speak for the people they represent.

Mitton has a problem with AI being used to replace the voice of elected politicians.
