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.

    comparing a politician’s use of Google, an iPhone and an LLM is a big fat false equivalence.

    To some degree, searching with Google and using LLM can have the same issue: Google is serving up the results that can change your view on things, just like an LLM can. Difference is that with the Google results, you should be getting human created stuff and you could know their political views and take that into your research, whereas LLM is much more of a black box of what the answers are and how they have been influenced by the LLM creators.

    I do agree that putting iPhone into this discussion is, at best, far fetched and could be said about any technology brand/model.
