#ElonMusk’s #DOGE team is using #AI software accessed through #Microsoft’s #cloud computing service #Azure to pore through every dollar of money the department disburses, from contracts to grants to work trip expenses…. Lower level department staffers were directed by agency leadership to let #Musk’s teams access the sensitive financial data….

#ElonMusk’s #DOGE team plans to replicate this process across many depts & agencies, accessing back-end software at different parts of the govt & then using #AI to extract & sift through info about spending on employees & programs, including #DEI initiatives….

Like other #tech leaders, #Musk has championed AI as a tool capable of rapidly making sense of data….However, because of its risks, many private-sector companies & #US govt depts have banned workers from using it on #secure materials.
