A councilor for the city of Porto Alegre in southern Brazil acknowledged the use ChatGPT pass a law that would be approved word for word and without hesitation by municipal legislators.
According to the AP, adviser Ramiro Rosario said this week that it was written by a chatbot, prompting objections and raising questions about the role of artificial intelligence in public policy.
The proposal written by the EA was to develop a proposal that would prohibit the city from charging ratepayers to replace water meters if they are stolen. He then presented it to his 35 colleagues on the board without making a single change or even informing them of its unprecedented origins.
“If I had reported this sooner, this proposal probably would not have even been put to a vote,” Rosario told the AP by phone Thursday. The 36-member council approved it unanimously, and the ordinance took effect Nov. 23.
“It would be unfair for the public to risk having a project not approved simply because it was written by artificial intelligence,” he added.
Keeping the origin of the proposal secret was intentional. Rosario told the AP that his goal was not only to solve a local problem, but also to spark debate. He said he entered a 49-word message into ChatGPT and within seconds it returned a full draft proposal, including justifications.
“I am convinced that… Humanity will experience a new technological revolution,” he said. “All the tools we have developed as a civilization can be used for both evil and good. “That’s why we have to show how it can be used for good.”
