Why those reports of DOGE using AI have experts worried about ‘massive risk’
Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) team is reportedly using AI to guide federal cost-cutting decisions, raising significant concerns among experts. Institute Associate Professor Julia Stoyanovich, director of NYU Center for Responsible AI, questioned DOGE's methodology: "I'd be really, really curious to hear the DOGE team articulate how they are measuring performance, how they're measuring correctness of their outcomes." AI researchers warn this approach risks security breaches, biased firing decisions, and elimination of essential staff, potentially affecting women and people of color disproportionately.
