Denmark PM Mette Frederiksen uses ChatGPT for writing her speech
- Denmark Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen stressed on the fascinating and terrifying aspects of ChatGPT artificial intelligence
Denmark Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen on Wednesday stressed the fascinating and terrifying aspects of artificial intelligence as she delivered a speech in Parliament partly written by ChatGPT. It was a traditional speech as the Parliament was getting ready for the summer break, but suddenly Mette Frederiksen revealed that what she was saying is not written not by her or any other human being.
“What I have just read here is not from me. Or any other human for that matter", Frederiksen suddenly said part-way into her speech to legislators, explaining it was written by ChatGPT.
“Even if it didn’t always hit the nail on the head, both in terms of the details of the government’s work program and punctuation… it is both fascinating and terrifying what it is capable of", the leader added.
ChatGPT touched dynamic topics
Notably, the part written by ChatGPT had a dynamic range and talked about the future of Denmark and combating climate change. The part of the speech also talked about the achievements of the country in the last Parliamentary year.
"It has been an honor and a challenge to lead a broad government in the last parliamentary year," including part of a speech written by ChatGPT.
"We have worked hard to co-operate across parties and ensure a strong and sustainable future for Denmark," and "We have taken steps to combat climate change and ensure a fairer and more inclusive society where all citizens have equal opportunities," ChatGPT also wrote.
"Although we have faced challenges and resistance along the way, I am proud of what we have achieved together in the last parliamentary year," it added.
The AI Act
The revelation by Mette Frederiksen came at a time when the European Union (EU) is working on something called The AI Act. It is a proposed European law on artificial intelligence (AI) – the first law on AI by a major regulator anywhere. The law assigns applications of AI to three risk categories.
“First, applications and systems that create an unacceptable risk, such as government-run social scoring of the type used in China, are banned. Second, high-risk applications, such as a CV-scanning tool that ranks job applicants, are subject to specific legal requirements. Lastly, applications not explicitly banned or listed as high-risk are largely left unregulated,” the website of The AI Act said.
