Simply because Tesla and X CEO Elon Musk has taken a step back from the spotlight doesn’t imply DOGE — the so-called “Division of Authorities Effectivity” — has stopped pushing its controversial tech agenda contained in the federal authorities.
According to a report from The Washington Post, DOGE is now deploying an AI device to assist federal businesses determine and eradicate rules en masse. Inner PowerPoint slides obtained by the Post element what’s being referred to as the “DOGE AI Deregulation Choice Device,” which claims to have flagged 100,000 of 200,000 federal guidelines as ripe for deletion.
DOGE’s objective is to construct a “delete record,” slicing half of all federal rules by September 1. It’s designed to focus on guidelines not required by legislation and is reportedly being rolled out throughout a number of businesses — together with the Shopper Monetary Safety Bureau (CFPB), the place it has allegedly written “100% of deregulations,” and the Division of Housing and City Growth (HUD), the place it’s been used to assessment over 1,000 regulatory sections.

However accuracy is already a problem. A number of HUD workers informed the Submit that the AI continuously misunderstands authorized language and misidentifies guidelines, elevating considerations concerning the device’s reliability in coverage choices.
The Deregulation Choice Device is only one of many AI-driven initiatives DOGE has launched beneath the Trump administration. Different initiatives embody an AI-first overhaul of the U.S. Normal Providers Administration, automated monitoring of EPA communications for DEI or anti-Trump/Musk content material, and utilizing AI to put in writing code for the Division of Veterans Affairs — a challenge reportedly riddled with bugs and errors.
