This Wednesday, May 31, on the occasion of the closing of the parliamentary session in Denmark, Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen delivered a speech, the first part of which was entirely written by ChatGPT.
It is a speech of political assessment which will remain a first at the world level, unless others have already done so without having admitted it. This Wednesday, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, in office since 2019, read a speech partly written by the artificial intelligence tool ChatGPT.

The idea for her was to underline the revolutionary, but also risky, aspect of this technology which has caused a lot of ink to flow in recent weeks.“ Even if he did not always hit the bullseye, both on the details of the government’s work program and on the punctuation […] of which [ChatGPT, NDLR] is capable is both fascinating and terrifying “, underlined the Danish leader. This new tool, acclaimed by some, makes others fear the worst.
This is precisely what the Prime Minister was trying to demonstrate. In total, the entire first part of the speech was entirely written by the artificial intelligence tool, as the Prime Minister clarified to deputies who seemed to be divided. If some seemed to laugh, others looked rather gray. It must be said that this technology is at the heart of a debate.
