DOGE builds AI tool to cut 50 percent of federal regulations

The U.S. DOGE Service is using a new artificial intelligence tool to slash federal regulations, with the goal of eliminating half of Washington’s regulatory mandates by the first anniversary of President Donald Trump’s inauguration, according to documents obtained by The Washington Post and four government officials familiar with the plans.

The tool, called the “DOGE AI Deregulation Decision Tool,” is supposed to analyze roughly 200,000 federal regulations to determine which can be eliminated because they are no longer required by law, according to a PowerPoint presentation obtained by The Post that is dated July 1 and outlines DOGE’s plans. Roughly 100,000 of those rules would be deemed worthy of trimming, the PowerPoint estimates — mostly through the automated tool with some staff feedback. The PowerPoint also suggests the AI tool will save the United States trillions of dollars by reducing compliance requirements, slashing the federal budget and unlocking unspecified “external investment.”

The tool has already been used to complete “decisions on 1,083 regulatory sections” at the Department of Housing and Urban Development in under two weeks, according to the PowerPoint, and to write “100% of deregulations” at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). Three HUD employees — as well as documents obtained by The Post — confirmed that an AI tool was recently used to review hundreds, if not more than 1,000, lines of regulations at that agency and suggest edits or deletions.

So regulations good when companies won't be good and regulations bad when companies want to be good and it cuts through red tape?

This seems like it has to be too much though...

Maybe homeowners from the Palisades fire could borrow it to finally get their building permits.

 

[catatomic]

Then again it's the government and they pass their own laws.

200,000 federal regulations. What part of that seems even remotely right ?

The Federal Government has gone far beyond it's Constitutional mandate.

I can now built that nuclear reactor to power my house.

When companies kill people someone has to protect the victims.

Simple don't maim and or kill your employees or customers if you do get fined into bankruptcy. We don't need 200,000 regulations for that do we ?

You retards love you some all powerful big government. If they aren't controlling every aspect of life you are even more miserable.

I am sure you like to live in a world that is void of an amber sky from pollution like it was forty five years ago.

We don't live in the 19th or 20th Century anymore dumbass. With almost instant communications, the WWW and social media. Companies are more aware of their public image than at anytime in the past.

There is no need for the nanny state you morons worship.

AI doesn't do a good job at analysis. AI doesn't analyze. It generates content or does whatever it does based on how it was trained by models.

AI is really good at following instructions. But you have to know what to tell it to do in order to get the best results.

For example, I asked ChatpGPT to consider this tool especially in light of the recent fiasco in which a company allowed their AI tool access to their production environment and it deleted a database which it wasn't asked to delete and then "hid" it's mistake
(AI Goes Rogue, Deletes Company's Entire Database):

Why This "AI to Cut 50% of Federal Regulations" Is a Disaster Waiting to Happen:​

1. AI is only as good as the data, training, and constraints it’s given. If the AI is trained to flag “inefficiencies” without context, it might delete regulations that protect water quality, disability access, fair housing, or worker safety.​

2. AI can't understand why a regulation was written. That matters. Some rules exist because people died before they were implemented.​

3. Regulations are often intertwined. Yank one thread, and you may unravel a dozen protections — then shrug and call it “optimization.”​

4. Who takes responsibility when a critical regulation is removed and disaster strikes? With a human agency, you have oversight, FOIA requests, and liability. With a machine? Nothing but plausible deniability.​

5. Just like the database-wiping AI, this could be pitched as a "productivity tool" — but be used to remove any regulation that slows down corporate profit, environmental destruction, or civil liberties violations.​

Exactly. It's user- and programmer- dependent. It's not transparent.

Your faith in AI is mind-bendingly stupid.

And your comment is proof that you're one of those people who don't know what questions to ask therefore you have no idea how to properly use it.

Or in case you still don't "get it", of the two of us, you're the one who is "stupid".

AI is not ready for this kind of responsibility.


To SUGGEST edits? Ok, but the review has to be serious, not a rubber stamp.

"With a human agency, you have oversight"​

Along with corruption and inefficiency.

I prefer actual intelligence to artificial, especially when you have unelected billionaires playing with the algorithm.

Start the Butlerian Jihad.

I use AI every day. You really have no ******* clue what you're talking about.

Just because you use it daily that doesn't indicate proficiency, but if you think you're so advanced then give an example that demonstrates your competency.

Your hostility and need to attack says way more about you than you apparently realize but I'm open to debate. Put your money where your mouth is and let's see what it is exactly that you think you know.
