Increasing AI integration in written content

Overview

Research indicates a growing presence of artificial intelligence in written content across various sectors. A Pew Research Center study found that approximately 10% of sampled English-language webpages show signs of AI authorship or editing, a figure that exceeds 35% for content published after November 2022. This usage is most prevalent in commercial .com domains, while academic and government sites show significantly lower rates.

Parallel findings highlight the integration of AI into political communications. A joint study by Chalmers University of Technology and Edinburgh Napier University, utilizing custom-built AI detectors to analyze thousands of political motions and contributions, has confirmed a significant rise in AI-assisted parliamentary texts in Sweden and the United Kingdom. In the United Kingdom, AI-generated content in parliamentary contributions rose from roughly 3.5% in 2022 to 15% by 2026. Similarly, in Sweden, AI-supported motions increased from 1.7% during the 2022/2023 period to 9.4% in the 2025/2026 parliamentary year.

Recent findings emphasize a lack of transparency in these political processes. A study by researchers from Chalmers University of Technology and Edinburgh Napier University revealed that approximately one in ten parliamentary motions from the past year contained traces of AI-assisted content, yet none of the politicians involved reported using the technology. Specifically, in Sweden, approximately 300 motions in the most recent parliamentary year were found to have at least one paragraph generated or assisted by AI. Researchers noted that while the use of AI tools is increasing, the failure to disclose their use poses a potential issue for public trust and accountability. In a separate regulatory development, the European Commission has designated ChatGPT as a Very Large Online Search Engine (VLOSE) under the Digital Services Act (DSA).
