A Republican Florida lawmaker with a history of anti-LGBTQ+ stances got caught using Claude, an AI assistant built by Anthropic, to draft a summary of an amendment she proposed to existing legislation.<\/p>\n

Washington Post reporter John Hudson first shared Rep. Anna Paulina Luna\u2019s alleged use of AI on social media on Wednesday with the caption, \u201ctfw you used Claude to write your NDAA amendment but forgot to hide your tracks.\u201d The summary of the amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act clearly included a line that read, \u201c11:25 AM???? Claude responded:\u201d before launching into a summary of the amendment. That line has since been removed.<\/p>\n

Luna\u2019s proposed amendment would redirect Department of Defense resources to the U.S.\u2019s Southwest border, per Forbes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Luna defended the use of AI on X shortly after the snafu went viral.<\/p>\n

\u201cFYI NO Legislation is ever drafted with AI,\u201d she wrote. \u201cAll bill text from the House comes from the House Legislative Council which is prohibited from using AI. The screenshot you\u2019re referencing is an AI summary of the bill that\u2019s also used for spellcheck, cmon man.\u201d<\/p>\n

Per Forbes, no other legislators have yet to comment on the use of AI to write a draft of a bill summary or whether such practice is now common in the U.S. Congress.<\/p>\n

Luna later joked about the incident on social media. She shared a screenshot of the Forbes article about her team\u2019s use of Claude with the caption: \u201cWhile we\u2019re at it let\u2019s use AI to audit Congress because clearly there\u2019s a lot of corruption here.\u201d<\/p>\n

Luna has a staunch history of anti-LGBTQ+ bigotry, including looking to restrict gender-affirming care<\/a> for trans youth and criticizing Pete Buttigieg for taking parental leave to care for his newborn son.<\/p>\n

\u201cPete Buttigieg got maternity leave and I didn\u2019t. And he\u2019s a dude. It\u2019s time Congress gets with the times,\u201d Luna wrote on X in 2024, per the Advocate<\/a>. Buttigieg\u2019s husband Chasten later responded to Luna by saying, \u201cEvery parent deserves parental leave. Those first weeks are so crucial for parents and newborns.\u201d He continued, \u201cWhat a shame to see Representative Luna tarnish this bipartisan effort with unnecessary homophobia. \u2018Getting with the times\u2019 would serve you well, Congresswoman.\u201d<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, queerphobia and AI are a potent mix. A report from GLAAD released earlier this month showed that AI can reinforce anti-LGBTQ+ discrimination<\/a> and bias. Researchers behind the 2026 Build for Everyone report<\/a> found that AI gave misinformation on LGBTQ+ issues and made discriminatory decisions, including chatbots that recommended conversion therapy to content moderation that stifled LGBTQ+ voices.<\/p>\n

They also found that AI systems raise data privacy concerns for LGBTQ+ people, especially in countries where they can face legal pushback simply for being queer or trans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This story originally appeared on The Advocate.
