If the Swedish PM uses AI, it won't put security at risk.

Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson has found himself at the center of a minor controversy after admitting that he often asks artificial intelligence for a second opinion in his role . Other colleagues in his center-right coalition also consult him regularly, he told the newspaper Dagens Industri. The most frequently used prompts seem innocuous enough ("What have the others done? Should we think exactly the opposite?"), but the Swedish press and industry experts have nevertheless accused him of having fallen into "the oligarchs' AI frenzy."

Perhaps the psychosis is the exact opposite. Using AI to support one's decisions doesn't necessarily have to be dismissed as servility to the machine. Indeed, an immediate opinion based on enormous amounts of data can be considered a useful resource for further refinements and improvements in one's work, whatever it may be. What's worrying, if anything, is training the chatbot with sensitive data, such as that handled daily by the prime minister of the EU's eighth-largest economy by GDP per capita . Such information, absorbed by the system, would end up in a dangerous black hole, compromising national security. According to Kristersson's spokesperson, however, no confidential information has been shared with artificial intelligence systems.

Whether sincere or not, politicians and public administration are increasingly relying on AI. OpenAI has offered ChatGPT to all US federal employees for the symbolic price of one dollar, while in Italy, three tools are being developed to assist congressmen and legislative offices in their parliamentary work. Even Sicilian Governor Schifani uses it, or at least his social media managers. In June, he published a post about the island's water emergency, but forgot to delete the AI's opening line: "Here's a proposal for the Facebook post." In that case, not even a human was asked for their opinion .
