  "account": "Montreal - Quebec Conservative Party Leader Éric Duhaime has admitted to utilizing artificial intelligence to compose his most recent book. During a press conference on Friday, Duhaime revealed that he employed AI as one of several tools to assist in crafting his fifth book, titled \"Destination Autonomie.\" According to Duhaime, the ideas contained within the book are entirely his own creation. He further stated that he has consistently advocated for the use of AI during his political campaign, asserting that it could aid in reducing bureaucratic inefficiencies. Quebecor media outlets reported on Thursday that 62% of the book was generated by AI, as detected by the Pangram software.",
