Lawmakers on Capitol Hill are learning to love AI
Several Democratic senators, including Angus King and Cory Booker, are using AI chatbots like Claude to aid in their work and personal lives, despite concerns about the technology's impact. Senators are leveraging AI for tasks such as research, drafting memos, and analyzing data.
Democratic senators are increasingly using AI chatbots, particularly Claude, to assist with their work. Sen. Angus King used Claude to gather information on wind and solar energy capacity during a hearing with U.S. Secretary of Energy Chris Wright. Other senators, such as Adam Schiff and Brian Schatz, have used AI for tasks like drafting a living trust and analyzing nonprofit grant funding requests. Sen. Cory Booker is promoting AI adoption among his colleagues, seeing it as a crucial tool for effective communication. Senators acknowledge the potential risks of AI but are exploring its benefits. In the House, representatives have also been using AI, with some using AI deepfakes to raise awareness or give speeches.
