Politicians use artificial intelligence to write speeches and proposals without informing voters, study reveals

SAPO Notícias3 September 2026 at 11:31

A study revealed that politicians are using artificial intelligence to draft speeches and legislative proposals, without informing voters about this practice. The research shows that technology is becoming increasingly present in parliamentary work.

According to the study, AI is being integrated into various tasks of elected representatives, including the preparation of interventions and the elaboration of political documents. However, this use is not being communicated transparently to citizens.

The lack of disclosure about the use of artificial intelligence raises questions about transparency in the democratic process. Voters are unaware that part of their representatives' work is produced using AI tools.

The phenomenon arises in a context of growing adoption of artificial intelligence technologies in various sectors, including politics. The study suggests that clear guidelines are needed on how and when politicians should communicate the use of these tools to their constituents.
