Arizona GOP Rep Secretly Used AI To Write Anti-AI Bill

NBC News reports:

A Republican member of the Arizona House used ChatGPT to help craft legislation on artificial intelligence-driven impersonations, which was signed into law by Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs earlier this week.

State Rep. Alex Kolodin used the AI software to help define “digital impersonation” in Arizona’s new law, which aims to regulate deepfake technology.

A representative for the governor’s office confirmed that Hobbs wasn’t aware Kolodin had used ChatGPT to help draft the bill she signed into law. That was an omission Kolodin admits was by design. “I kind of wanted it to be a surprise once the bill got signed,” he said.
