DOE

President Trump and Elon Musk's DOGE initiative is misapplying artificial intelligence and missing its full potential.

After mass firings at the General Services Administration, DOGE issued remaining staff an app to take up the excess work — but severely limited its use to a handful of repetitive tasks.

DOGE access to government computers has sparked fears about cybersecurity vulnerabilities and privacy violations, as well as. the potential use of the data to train a private company's artificial intelligence system.

Using AI to identify "mission-critical" jobs? Spotting dead people on the Social Security rolls? There's an urgent role for automation and AI in government -- but the what DOGE appears to be doing doesn't add up.

TV sets at the headquarters of the Department of Housing and Urban Development played the seemingly AI-generated video on loop, along with the words "LONG LIVE THE REAL KING."

Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency appear to have wide-reaching plans to remake the government with AI. Thomas Shedd, a former Tesla engineer who is now the head of the Technology Transformation Services, a federal IT division, invoked an "AI-first strategy" at a recent staff meeting.

Department of Government Efficiency workers embedded in the Education Department have been processing sensitive agency data using artificial intelligence.

President Trump has announced a major AI initiative called "Stargate" -- but the firms involved have DEI policies that go against his goal of eliminating such programs.
