AI for Civic Public Comment Letters: Substantive Voice, Not Astroturf

The premise

Agencies are drowning in AI-generated public comments. AI can help organize your real thinking — but submitting boilerplate it generates without your substance is part of the problem.

What AI does well here

Structure your existing notes into a comment letter
Translate technical points into accessible language
Format per agency rules

What AI cannot do

Decide what you actually believe
Substitute for genuine expertise
Generate plausible-sounding policy positions

AI government relations AI policy public comment

The premise

AI can draft a public comment to an AI-related NPRM that captures the firm's substantive concerns in the regulator's expected format.

What AI does well here

Restate the relevant NPRM provisions verbatim with citations
Frame the firm's concerns as concrete impact
Suggest specific edit language to the proposed rule

What AI cannot do

Set the firm's policy position
Negotiate with the regulator
Substitute for legal and government relations sign-off
