The government of South Africa is currently investigating whether ChatGPT authored a section of a speech recently read by President Cyril Ramaphosa. The development comes amid reports that parts of the speech, read by Ramaphosa last week, appeared to have been generated by the AI platform, not himself or his speechwriters.

President’s official spokesperson Vincent Magwenya has denied the allegation and stated that the speech was authored by South Africa’s Department of Education on behalf of the Head of State and they do not take assistance from such AI tools.
