AI-Generated Bills Overwhelming House Legislative Counsel

AI-Generated Bills Overwhelming House Legislative Counsel

A new report reveals that AI-generated bills are flooding the House Office of Legislative Counsel, introducing errors that could create legal chaos. This threatens legislative integrity and Congress's ability to function. Rare bipartisan concern emerging. Example: Rep. Luna's staff left 'Claude responded' in an amendment. The OLC is spending more time fixing AI drafts than writing from scratch. Separately, the White House publicly disparaged OpenAI's star policy hire, signaling growing politicization of AI regulation. White House AI testing plans remain murky, with companies unclear on scope and open-model exemptions, raising questions about voluntary frameworks.
