Congresswoman Luna says AI used only for spellcheck on defense amendment summary, not legislation text
By

Summary
Florida Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) responded to allegations that her staff used AI to draft a defense funding amendment for the 2027 National Defense Authorization Act. Luna acknowledged that AI was used for "spellcheck" on an amendment summary — which notably included a reference to Anthropic's Claude AI — but firmly denied that AI was used to draft the actual legislation text, stating "NO Legislation is ever drafted with AI." The controversy emerged after screenshots circulated on X showing the amendment summary with AI-generated formatting artifacts.
