House Representative Andy Biggs Considers Using Artificial Intelligence (AI) to Simplify Government Processes

House Representative Andy Biggs is contemplating the utilization of artificial intelligence (AI) technology to streamline bureaucratic procedures. He plans to introduce a bill that would require federal agencies to employ AI for evaluating regulations under their purview. The main goal is to pinpoint and eliminate regulations that do not meet specific standards.

Biggs underscores the importance of enabling American businesses to flourish without being hindered by cumbersome, expensive, conflicting, or redundant regulations imposed by the Washington, DC establishment. The adverse effects of excessive federal regulations on the U.S. economy are a significant concern. Given the influx of new regulations each year, the current resources are insufficient to navigate this complex regulatory landscape. Implementing AI systems is viewed as a cost-effective solution that can not only save taxpayer funds but also empower business owners and drive economic progress.

The 118th Congress has observed a rise in the introduction of AI-related bills. According to information revealed by Fox News Digital, federal agencies and offices would be obliged to utilize “algorithmic tools and artificial intelligence” to expedite the assessment of governmental policies in a more effective and efficient manner. The proposed legislation aims to scrutinize regulations that are outdated, contain errors, feature inaccurate price references, or exhibit redundancy or overlap with existing federal regulations or standards. Consequently, the heads of these entities would need to present Congress with a detailed strategy outlining the necessary adjustments or removal of such regulations.

A prior report from the Committee on House Administration highlighted the integration of AI within the House of Representatives to improve specific processes. In addition to using AI for reviewing basic communications, emails, memos, and briefing notes, recent instances mentioned in a December document include the deployment of “AI-assisted chatbots and other AI automations or support for Helpdesk” by House staff.
