Tech experts criticise Ulf Kristersson as newspaper accuses him of falling for ‘the oligarchs’ AI psychosis’

The Swedish prime minister, Ulf Kristersson, has come under fire after admitting that he regularly consults AI tools for a second opinion in his role running the country.

Kristersson, whose Moderate party leads Sweden’s centre-right coalition government, said he used tools including ChatGPT and the French service LeChat. His colleagues also used AI in their daily work, he said.

    As the PM of Sweden sharing potentially sensitive information with a foreign secret service controlled chatbot should be cause for immediate dismissal.

        I mean there’s nothing wrong with bouncing ideas off a chatbot.

        Is what you literally said. As the PM of a country there is a lot wrong with doing that, as these chats are not private and the other side allows the CIA etc. to directly listen in.

          Bouncing ideas and sharing sensitive information are not always the same thing, even if you’re PM.

            Imagine the USSR setting up a telephone hotline with “helpful advise” for foreign government officials… this is literally the 21st century version of that.
