Newfoundland and Labrador’s New Democratic Party is calling on the provincial government to implement “strict regulations” around the use of artificial intelligence.

“Not only is the use of AI on government reports disgusting, but it’s undermining the confidence in our government to do the work necessary to address the issues in our healthcare system, and truly throughout the province” NDP Leader Jim Dinn said in a news release Monday, in response to The Independent’s Nov. 22 story that revealed the province’s $1.6-million Health Human Resources Plan, commissioned from global consulting firm Deloitte, contained fabricated research citations likely generated by AI.
