In the chambers of the Louisiana State Capitol, a quiet revolution is underway. Not of politics, but of process. At this year’s Louisiana Boys State, an annual mock government program that brings together some of the state’s brightest high school students, artificial intelligence is becoming a behind-the-scenes power player. Now if I told you that one of the first two sentences was 100% AI, could you tell me which one? You can’t, can you?
This little experiment may not seem important right now, but if you think about the implications, it opens some really exciting, but scary, doors. AI is not only a tool available to me; it is widely available to everyone on the globe. In fact, you’ve probably used AI more than once just in this past week. But the question is: will the use of AI become a problem?
Through press inspection, we have already found legislative bills and speeches that are 100% written by AI at Boys State. This was confirmed by running these documents through several AI checkers.
Everyone has access to AI, and this includes the officials who are responsible for running your nation. If an official gets elected because they had a compelling speech or bill, but later it’s discovered that they used ChatGPT to write it, would you see it as a problem?
