AI Drafts Flood US Congress, Lawyers Struggling to Fix Them

AI is now part of the US Congress lawmaking process, but it's causing headaches. Many congressional offices use chatbots like ChatGPT and Claude to draft bills, flooding the House Legislative Counsel's office with AI-written texts. These drafts often mix up legal terms like tax credit and tax deduction, or misuse the word 'state', possibly leaving out Washington DC and tribal nations. Lawyers spend extra time fixing these errors, and some experts warn AI could misquote laws, creating 'thousands of loopholes' in the US legal system.
