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 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 words' worth of unnecessary regulation from Ohio's code. Now a U.S. senator, Husted has recently proposed to take the same approach to U.S. federal law, with an ideological bent promoting AI as a tool for systematic deregulation.
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.
