The Swedish prime minister, Ulf Kristersson, has come under fire after admitting that he regularly consults AI tools for a second opinion in his role running the country.
Kristersson, whose Moderate party leads Sweden’s centre-right coalition government, said he used tools including ChatGPT and the French service LeChat. His colleagues also used AI in their daily work, he said.
Bouncing ideas and sharing sensitive information are not always the same thing, even if you’re PM.
Imagine the USSR setting up a telephone hotline with “helpful advise” for foreign government officials… this is literally the 21st century version of that.
