Is AI Writing American Law?
The rate among bills with no preambles and findings is significantly lower. A large number of these bills are renewals, extensions and other copies of pre-AI legislation.The Epstein Files Transparency Act is the only majority AI-written bill in our sample that became law. It is one of the most widely covered and politically divisive bills in the past year.We confirmed that it was majority-written by AI using the state of the art AI detection model, Pangram 4.
