AI-written speeches making their way into Ontario legislature, report finds

A new report from the Queen’s Park Observer looks at how often MPPs are using artificial intelligence to write their speeches in the legislature.

Journalist Sabrina Nanji fed transcripts from the first seven sitting days of the fall session into an AI checker.

She found just shy of 15 per cent of those words were flagged as AI or likely AI. That’s around one in seven words.

That compares to a similar study with transcripts from 2022, which flagged zero per cent for artificial intelligence.

Nanji spoke with CHCH News about her reporting.
