Almost one in five official White House communications published in 2026 shows signs of the use of artificial intelligence, according to an analysis by Times Brasil. The survey, based on an investigation by Forbes, deals with a type of document that quickly reaches operating desks and newsrooms.
The sample brings together 8,702 documents and more than 8 million words, with texts from the last three US presidential administrations. When separating the periods, the analysis found a pattern in Donald Trump's second term: around 10% of communications were classified as made by AI or with its participation.
This percentage reached 18% in 2026, according to the same survey. The numbers describe clues and classifications, and not a confirmation of authorship of each text.
One of the cases cited is the White House medical letter about Trump's health, from July 2025. According to Times Brasil, the Pangram detector classified 100% of the document's content as generated by AI. The example draws attention because it deals with the health of a head of state, a matter of direct public interest.
What is at stake is trust in the source. Official communications serve as a reference for journalists, analysts and managers who react to policy announcements, and the doubt about who wrote each text forces the reader to check more before acting. For those who operate, this extra checking time also has a cost.
What changes for the investor
The survey does not measure the effect on markets, and any reading in this regard would be speculation. Still, he suggests that the origin of a statement can become a checking item before any reaction to it. Those who follow announcements coming from Washington tend to benefit from treating official texts as a starting point, checking the original version, context and confirmation in other sources. The change is in method, not in the thesis about interest, the dollar or the stock market.
