## What Jamie wrote

Some great context from Schneier on AI assisting with writing and assessing laws. He references some examples of this from five years ago here in the US.

> Even asking AI to comprehensively review and update legislation would not be a first. In 2020, the U.S. state of Ohio began using AI to do wholesale [revision](https://governor.ohio.gov/administration/lt-governor/launches-ai-tool-to-analyze-ohio-regulations) of its administrative law. AI's speed is potentially a good match to this kind of large-scale editorial project; the state's then-lieutenant governor, Jon Husted, claims it was successful in eliminating [2.2 million](https://www.axios.com/local/columbus/2024/04/29/artificial-intelligence-ai-ohio-state-administrative-code-husted) words' worth of unnecessary regulation from Ohio's code. Now a U.S. senator, Husted has recently [proposed](https://www.husted.senate.gov/press-releases/husted-introduces-bill-leveraging-ai-to-increase-efficiency-within-federal-code/) to take the same approach to U.S. federal law, with an ideological bent promoting AI as a tool for systematic [deregulation](https://www.wsj.com/opinion/ai-can-be-a-force-for-deregulation-technology-government-ohio-federal-365ed0d4).

This seems like an obvious place that AI can be used by all parties. Writing legislation, and probably all contracts, becomes like chess — where the best players in the world are using machines to assist.
