Chatbots Are Doing the Work of Congress

Lawmakers and staffers across the U.S. Congress are using artificial intelligence chatbots—including Copilot, ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude in the House—to write speeches, sort constituent mail, and draft amendments, according to a Washington Post report. Both chambers have cleared members and staff to use the tools for official work with little oversight, even as they debate how to regulate AI for the rest of the country.

Washington Post: “Across the Capitol, lawmakers and staffers are using artificial intelligence to write speeches and news releases, sort constituent mail, prepare questions for congressional hearings and draft amendments.”

”Even as politicians are debating how to govern AI for the rest of America, Congress has already settled how it will use the technology: quickly, broadly and with little oversight.”

”Both chambers have cleared members and staff to use chatbots — Copilot, ChatGPT, Gemini and, in the House, Claude — for official work, with more under review.”
