AI Insight #1: Politics Meets AI

South African President Ramaphosa’s AI Speech Controversy

Recently, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa found himself at the center of an intriguing AI-related controversy. Speculation arose that his November 21 speech in Johannesburg might have been written using ChatGPT. 

Social media users fed parts of the speech through AI detectors, which suggested AI involvement. This incident raises significant ethical questions about the use of AI in political communication, concerning authenticity and originality.

This situation underscores the expanding role of AI in various sectors, including politics, and the imperative need for ethical guidelines in AI usage.
