Congresswoman denies using AI to write defense funding amendment

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna says her staff used AI for spellcheck in an amendment summary, but denies it was used for the bill text itself. She claims ‘NO Legislation is ever drafted with AI.’ The claim comes after screenshots of an amendment summary for the 2027 National Defense Authorization Act were shared on X, sparking speculation about the use of AI in bill drafting. Luna initially suggested her staff used AI to correct a draft text, but later clarified that only the summary was edited with AI. This incident highlights the growing use of AI in workplaces and the need for transparency about its use in government. Why it matters: As AI tools become more prevalent, it’s essential to ensure that they’re not being used to draft legislation without proper oversight.
