Results: Mass. Congressman Reads AI-Generated Speech On House Floor

The brief two-paragragh speech read by the Massachusetts Democrat on the floor of the U.S. House on Wednesday was generated by the online AI chatbot ChatGPT. ChatGPT is a conversational artificial Intelligence chatbot that can answer just about any question you throw at it. It can answer your questions, write you a resume or cover letter, write a speech, write code, solve math problems, write music or simply have a conversation. Have you used ChatGPT for anything?

Auchincloss said part of the decision to read a ChatGPT-generated text was to help spur debate on AI and the challenges and opportunities created by it. He said he doesn't want to see a repeat of the advent of social media, which started small and ballooned faster than Congress could react. The speech was about a bill that would create a U.S.-Israel artificial intelligence center. What do you think about Auchincloss's decision to use AI Generated speech?

The release of ChatGPT and other AI programs available on the internet is already posing a challenge for teachers who must now grapple with the possibility of students handing in AI-generated essays. Do you believe AI technology poses a challenge for educators and students in terms of academic integrity? (We input the article to ChatGPT and asked it to write survey questions, this is one of them)

Lawmakers and others shouldn't be reflexively hostile to the new technology, but also shouldn't wait too long before drafting policies or new laws to help regulate it, Auchincloss said. Do you think we need regulation laws or policies about AI?
