NDP rejects claim from Scott Moe that it used AI to create health-care plan

Saskatchewan Opposition Leader Scott Moe has accused the New Democratic Party (NDP) of using artificial intelligence (AI) to generate key sections of the party's recently released health care policy plan. However, NDP leader Carla Beck firmly rejected Moe's claim, stating that it is "obviously false." Moe's accusation followed a social media post in which he alleged that the NDP had forgotten to remove AI prompts from the policy, which was initially 32 pages long before being revised to 28 pages.

The premier suggested that the NDP's plan was lacking in credibility due to the AI-generated content. In response, Beck clarified that she and other NDP members had worked with researchers and health-care workers to develop the plan, emphasizing that no AI was involved. The NDP's shadow health minister, Meara Conway, also confirmed that paid researchers and experts contributed to the document.

The controversy arose after Moe's post on X, now referred to as Twitter, suggesting that the NDP's "Big, Bold Health Care Plan" contained AI prompts in two paragraphs. Moe claimed that these prompts diminished the plan's credibility, stating that it "cost every health platform commitment against this return-on-investment logic."

The original policy document was removed following Moe's post, replaced by a revised version that did not include the allegedly AI-generated sections. The NDP maintains that the plan is a result of extensive consultation with Saskatchewan residents and healthcare professionals, not AI-generated content.
