On January 27th, ProPublic reported thatUSAThe Trump government is planning to use Google Gemini AI Assistance in drafting federal legislationThe first pilot will take place in the United States Department of Transport. DOT is responsible for the development and regulation of safety standards for commercial aircraft, transport of dangerous goods and critical areas such as driver qualifications。
According to the internal minutes of meetings and staff interviews obtained by ProPublic, the scheme was disclosed to department employees last month. DOT HighestlawCounselor Gregory Zelzán said that President Trump was “excited” by this, and said that the department would become “the one that would be the one that would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the otherFIRST BODY TO DRAFT LEGISLATION TO FULLY OPERATIONALIZE AII'M SORRY. AT THE SAME TIME, HE REVEALED THAT THE ULTIMATE GOAL OF THE PLAN WAS TO REDUCE SIGNIFICANTLY THE TIME FOR DRAFTING AND REVIEWING LEGISLATION, AND AI COULD PRODUCE A FIRST DRAFT IN 20 MINUTES。
As noted in the minutes of the meeting, Zerzan stressed at the meeting that the statute "It doesn't need to be perfect. It doesn't even need to be very good“To address the excessive length of the traditional process of making federal legislation。
However, the plan raises both internal and expert challenges. Mike Horton, former DOT's acting chief artificial intelligence officer, criticized the use of Gemini to draft legislation like “Let high school interns set rules” and warned that “quick action and breaking the rules mean people are hurt”。
Bridget Durrin, a professor at Ohio State University, said, “Just because these tools generate a great deal of text does not mean that they constitute high-quality government decision-making”, she added, “There is a great temptation to try to use these tools, and I think there is a good reason to try. But I agree that this should be accompanied by many doubts.”。
ALTHOUGH THE U.S. GOVERNMENT HAS PREVIOUSLY USED AI FOR SUPPORTING WORK IN THE AREAS OF DOCUMENT TRANSLATION, DATA ANALYSIS AND PUBLIC EVALUATION OF CLASSIFICATIONSBut for the first time, it was directly used to draft legislationI DON'T KNOW. IT IS NOTEWORTHY THAT THE NET REDUCTION OF DOT STAFF SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE CURRENT MANDATE OF TRUMP HAS EXCEEDED 400 MILLION, INCLUDING OVER 100 LAWYERS, AND SOME VOICES ARGUE THAT THE SHORTAGE OF MANPOWER DUE TO STAFF CUTS MAY BE THE MAIN REASON FOR ACCELERATING THE INTRODUCTION OF AI。
According to AI 2025, 16 December, the Trump Government launched a new project called U.S. Tech Force, which is dedicated to “high-impact technology projects, including artificial intelligence deployment, application development, data modernization and digital service delivery across federal agencies, in collaboration with a wide range of enterprises such as Amazon Cloud Technologies, Apple, Google Public Sector, Dale Technology, Microsoft, Weiboda, OpenAI, Oracle, Parantil, Salesforce”。
CURRENTLY, DOT HAS USED AI TO PREPARE AN UNDISCLOSED DRAFT OF THE FEDERAL AVIATION AUTHORITY ' S RULES, AND THE SUCCESSOR PLAN IS TO EXTEND AI TO OTHER GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENTS。
