Politicians in Sweden and the UK appear to be increasingly using artificial intelligence (AI) to help write parliamentary texts without disclosing it, according to a new study.
Researchers from Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden and Edinburgh Napier University in the UK analysed 13,565 Swedish parliamentary motions and 4,209 UK parliamentary statements published between 2021 and April 2026 using AI detectors trained to distinguish between human and large language model-generated political writing.
