The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has gained access to sensitive federal databases, raising concerns about cybersecurity and privacy. This access could allow a private company to leverage government data for training AI systems, potentially giving it an unfair advantage. The implications of such data use extend beyond privacy, posing risks to societal influence and power dynamics.
Government databases contain verified records of human behavior, making them invaluable for AI training. Unlike data from social media, these records provide insights into real-world decisions and outcomes, which could enhance AI capabilities significantly. The potential for a company like xAI to utilize this data raises ethical questions about the concentration of power and its impact on democracy.
• DOGE's access to government data raises significant privacy and power concerns.
• AI companies could gain unprecedented advantages from training on verified government data.
