Research: 68 Dutch House of Representatives members used AI for their debate texts

De Groene Amsterdammer and Investico had 2,715 House speeches from 1 January to 30 September 2026 checked with the detection tool Pangram. For 68 MPs they found texts that were more than half written with AI, 297 speeches in total. According to the researchers this involved chatbots such as ChatGPT and Claude; nothing was found for SP, Partij voor de Dieren and Volt.

What does this mean? If you use AI for texts you deliver or publish under your own name, agree internally what is allowed and check that the content really is yours: detection tools make AI use visible.
