Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is reportedly using artificial intelligence (AI) to monitor communications for anti-Musk and anti-Trump sentiment.
Managers at the Environmental Protection Agency have been informed about DOGE using AI to monitor communication apps and software like Microsoft Teams, in order to identify individuals whose work doesn't align with the administration's agenda.
The EPA stated that it was considering AI to optimize agency functions but denied using AI for personnel decisions in conjunction with DOGE.
DOGE has faced accusations of operating in secrecy, and a federal judge recently ordered it to provide records of its operations to a watchdog organization.
