By analyzing vast amounts of text, AI can uncover hidden ambiguities. While this capability could lead to widespread "societal hacking" and chaos, AI also offers the potential to proactively plug these gaps or even draft new, airtight rules. Users can prompt AI with documents to find opportunities, but must verify results due to possible false positives or AI hallucinations. Research confirms AI's effectiveness in discovering regulatory weaknesses. Ultimately, AI could either trigger a "loophole explosion" or, conversely, lead to their eventual extinction by enabling the creation of perfectly clear stipulations.

Be the first in the coming trend of using AI to find handy loopholes on your behalf.gettyIn today’s column, I examine the use of AI to find loopholes. This is admittedly a somewhat uncommon way to consider leveraging modern-era generative AI and large language models (LLMs). Nonetheless, AI can be readily prompted to examine written materials such as laws, regulations, rules, and the like, to discover hidden opportunities, escape hatches, and all manner of loopholes.
