Congresswoman denies staff used AI to write defense funding amendment

A congresswoman from Florida initially suggested her staff used AI to draft an amendment for a major defense bill, but later clarified that AI was only used for spellchecking and grammar correction of the amendment summary, not the actual bill text itself. She emphasized that legislation is never drafted with AI and that all bill text from the House comes from the House Legislative Council, which is prohibited from using AI. The incident highlights how references to AI tools are increasingly appearing in contexts where they should not be used, as these technologies become more common in workplaces.
