Quick Summary

Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe accused the NDP opposition of using AI to generate parts of its 32-page health-care policy plan. In response, NDP leader Carla Beck denied Moe’s claims as "obviously false," asserting that the document was crafted with input from researchers and consultations with healthcare workers. After Moe's post on X, the NDP removed the original lengthy document and replaced it with a shorter, 28-page version without the disputed text. NDP shadow health minister Meara Conway clarified that the contested sections were recommendations made by her and a researcher to their team, not AI-generated prompts.

Story summary

In response to Premier Scott Moe's accusation that the New Democratic Party (NDP) used AI-generated content in its recently released 32-page health care policy, Carla Beck, leader of Saskatchewan’s Opposition, has denied the claim. On Wednesday, Moe posted on X, a social media platform, suggesting that the NDP had forgotten to remove AI prompts from parts of their document. He cited two specific paragraphs as evidence: one discussing cost evaluations and another mentioning the need for plain-language explanations of data figures.

Thomas Ockley, the Opposition caucus director of research and policy, responded with an email statement to Global News on Wednesday, asserting that Moe’s accusation is "obviously false." The NDP has reportedly consulted over 1,000 Saskatchewanians thus far in developing their health-care plan. The document aims to enhance Saskatchewan's healthcare system by strengthening primary care services.
