Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson publicly acknowledged in a recent interview that he regularly uses ChatGPT artificial intelligence in his professional work. According to him, he turns to the neural network to get a “second opinion” and consider alternative points of view on various issues, writes The Guardian.
“I use ChatGPT quite a bit. At least for a second opinion. What would others do? Shouldn't we consider the exact opposite?” Kristersson said.
The head of government's statement has caused a mixed reaction in Swedish society. Some citizens expressed dissatisfaction with the fact that the prime minister consults with artificial intelligence when making decisions. Some media outlets criticized this approach to governing the state.
At the same time, Kristersson's admission has drawn attention to the issue of using artificial intelligence technologies in public administration. Experts note that the use of AI tools in various areas of activity, including politics, is becoming an increasingly common phenomenon.
