US Senator Richard Blumenthal opened a hearing on AI with a recording of his voice describing the risks of this emerging technology.

“Too often we have seen what happens when technology outpaces regulation,” he said. “The unbridled exploitation of personal data, the proliferation of disinformation and the deepening of societal inequalities.”

But he didn’t write it and he didn’t record it.

Drawing chuckles from the hearing room on Tuesday, the Connecticut Democrat said the text was written by OpenAI’s ChatGPT and the audio was a voice application trained on his speeches on the Senate floor.
