City lawmakers in Brazil have enacted what appears to be the nation’s first legislation written entirely by artificial intelligence (AI) — even if they didn’t know it at the time.

The experimental ordinance was passed in October in the southern city of Porto Alegre and city councilman Ramiro Rosário revealed that it was written by a chatbot, sparking objections and raising questions about the role of artificial intelligence in public policy.

Rosário told The Associated Press that he asked OpenAI’s chatbot ChatGPT to craft a proposal to prevent the city from charging taxpayers to replace water consumption meters if they are stolen. He then presented it to his 35 peers on the council without making a single change or even letting them know about its unprecedented origin. The 36-member council approved it unanimously and the ordinance went into effect on Nov. 23.

The arrival of ChatGPT on the marketplace just a year ago has sparked a global debate on the impacts of potentially revolutionary AI-powered chatbots. While some see it as a promising tool, it has also caused concerns and anxiety about the unintended or undesired impacts of a machine handling tasks currently performed by humans.

Porto Alegre, with a population of 1.3 million, is the second-largest city in Brazil’s south. The city’s council president, Hamilton Sossmeier, found out that Rosário had enlisted ChatGPT to write the proposal when the councilman bragged about the achievement on social media. Sossmeier initially told local media he thought it was a “dangerous precedent.”

The AI large language models that power chatbots like ChatGPT work by repeatedly trying to guess the next word in a sentence and are prone to making up false information, a phenomenon sometimes called hallucination.

All chatbots sometimes introduce false information when summarizing a document, ranging from about 3% of the time for the most advanced GPT model to a rate of about 27% for one of Google’s models, according to recently published research by the tech company Vectara.

In an article published on the website of Harvard Law School’s Center of Legal Profession earlier this year, Andrew Perlman, wrote that ChatGPT “is a machine learning system, it may not have the same level of understanding and judgment as a human lawyer when it comes to interpreting legal principles and precedent. This could lead to problems in situations where a more in-depth legal analysis is required”.

There was no such transparency for Rosário’s proposal in Porto Alegre. Sossmeier said Rosário did not inform fellow council members that ChatGPT had written the proposal.

Rosário told the AP his objective was also to spark a debate. He said he entered a 49-word prompt into ChatGPT and it returned the full draft proposal within seconds, including justifications.

And the council president, who initially decried the method, already appears to have been swayed. “I changed my mind,” Sossmeier said. “I started to read more in depth and saw that, unfortunately or fortunately, this is going to be a trend.”

Alternativa correta: C - rough

Vamos entender por que a alternativa correta é a letra C e analisar as demais opções.

A questão pede para interpretar a mudança de atitude do presidente do conselho, Hamilton Sossmeier, em relação ao uso de Inteligência Artificial (IA) na criação de legislações. No texto, é dito que ele inicialmente criticou o método, mas depois mudou de opinião, aceitando que a tendência é inevitável.

A frase chave é: “And the council president, who initially decried the method, already appears to have been swayed”. Aqui, “decried” significa que ele criticou ou desaprovou a metodologia. No entanto, ele foi “swayed” (influenciado, persuadido) e mudou de opinião.

Portanto, a mudança de atitude do presidente do conselho não foi não rough (rude, abrupta), porque ele inicialmente criticou e depois mudou de opinião.

Vamos analisar as alternativas incorretas:

  • A - malleable: Significa flexível, adaptável. Considerando que ele mudou de opinião, essa alternativa não está correta, pois a mudança de atitude dele foi, de fato, adaptável.
  • B - proper: Significa adequado, correto. Como a mudança de opinião é uma adaptação ao contexto, a atitude poderia ser vista como adequada, então esta alternativa tampouco está correta.
  • D - fluid: Significa fluido, flexível. Da mesma forma que a alternativa 'malleable', a mudança de atitude foi adaptável, então esta alternativa também não é a correta.

A alternativa correta é rough, pois indica que a mudança de opinião não foi rude ou abrupta, mas sim adaptável e flexível.
