Members of Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) reportedly fed sensitive government data into artificial intelligence tools, relying on AI to recommend drastic budget cuts—particularly targeting the Department of Education.
According to multiple U.S. officials, DOGE agents, mostly in their twenties with little prior government experience, have gained administrative access to highly restricted personnel records at the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). Now, internal concerns are growing that these same operatives have been running confidential government data through AI models, risking external access to sensitive data.
