Quebec Conservative Leader Éric Duhaime Admits to Using AI to Write Book
Quebecor media said Pangram found 62% of the book machine-generated as Duhaime defended AI as a tool to organize his ideas.
On Friday, Quebec Conservative Party Leader Eric Duhaime admitted to using artificial intelligence to write his latest book, Destination Autonomie, ahead of the Oct. 5 provincial election.
Using the AI-detection software Pangram, Quebecor media outlets reported on Thursday that 62 per cent of the book was machine-generated, prompting the leader's disclosure.
Duhaime, who previously worked as a columnist and radio host, said he used AI as a tool to structure his thoughts while asserting that the ideas in the book remain entirely his own.
The book reflects on how Quebec can gain more autonomy within the Canadian Confederation, outlining the leader's vision for provincial independence and governance reform.
Ahead of the provincial election on Oct. 5, Duhaime stated he supports using AI throughout his campaign, suggesting the technology could be useful to cut bureaucracy and streamline governance.
Eric Duhaime assumes the use of artificial intelligence (AI) for the writing of his book Destination Autonomy and does not believe that his book should have mentioned it. L的IA is a "tool like others", replies the conservative leader, who assures that ideas are his.
