ChatGPT becomes a visible tool in early AI spending on Capitol Hill

At least 70 House offices used identifiable AI tools in early 2026, according to CNBC Markets, with use by Democrats more visible than that of Republicans.

ChatGPT has emerged as a prominent tool in early AI spending across Congress, as lawmakers begin weighing how to regulate the technology, CNBC Markets reports.

The outlet says at least 70 House offices used identifiable AI tools in early 2026, and that Democrats account for the most visible spending.

CNBC Markets adds that broader use is likely undercounted, suggesting additional offices may be using similar tools without being identifiable from available data.
