Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency team is reportedly using artificial intelligence to guide its cost-cutting decisions, a tactic AI experts say could cause security breaches, biased firing choices and cuts of highly qualified, essential government staffers.
Also, this is not legal.
You “forgot” to mention that is their intent.
Biden et al seem remarkably quiet on the whole thing or have I missed any criticism coming from him, Harris, Obama, Clinton etc. Even George W can't be comfortable with all this?
AI using incomplete base knowledge isn't AI - it's a publicity stunt by a narcissist.
But this doesn’t stop them from doing it. Someone smart would stop, when the results showed they were doing more harm than good. You have not 1 sociopath running the Country but two. And both don’t care who gets hurt in the long run.
So that’s why their wall of receipts is full of hallucinations, mistakes, and conflicts of interest. They’re using Grok which has a system prompt saying not to touch Musk or even criticize him.
Context matters. I was told recently that I am not spending the amount of money we promised the organization we would spend. However, just looking at the balance sheet, you would not know that I received several grants that offset what I spent and volunteers cooked the food instead of buying it.
Yeah, just like Elon and his vice president they have no soul, no emotional intelligence, just like AI. Cutting jobs, cutting insurance, cutting social security means nothing. And you all knew this was going to happen from people like me with an intellect, but sure get you some of those eggs now!
They have no idea what they are doing- nor do they care.
Another reason Apartheid Clyde needs to have his ass kicked and kicked hard.
There's nothing "intelligent" about it, artificial or otherwise.
WOW. Let's use ARTIFICIAL intelligence to run the government... I would think it was a bit more complicated than that...
Why install them in Congress and the House, POTUS, & VPOTUS
Maybe CNN shouldn’t have been carrying this administration’s water for the water for the past few years. Just a thought.
Nice training data for his AI LLM.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t matter. They’ll just keep doing it and our allies have to know we’ve compromised their safety. And America is compromised. Such a disgrace.
Basically all according to plan. Not content with destroying American trade, comrade donald is intent on destroying the federal administration. The states will have to take on staff to do the work that Washington can no longer do.
Saw three military helicopters flying in formation yesterday morning, over Long Island. Not sure if it was for ICE or something else.........

Where's his suit and tie???
Let me fix that for you: "Elon Musk's team is using artificial intelligence to sift through their opposition research on federal employees, a tactic that has caused security breaches, biased firing choices, and cuts of highly qualified essential government staffers."
Using AI to do that job is purely 'RETARD', 'IRRESPONSIBLE' and of course 'A L A Z I N E S S DISASTER'!! What if AI fires all staff holding nukes safe to commit what he waa doing in insightful Terminator Movie Series which must be presented to Mr.President as AI awareness lessons??
Once again "Elon Musk's DOGE", despite them telling us that he is not in charge of DOGE nor is he a government official. The lies are BLATANT.
That should not be a surprise. I’ve not seen any evidence of expertise in forensic accounting amongst the DOGE staff so of course they are using AI.
He has no idea what he’s doing. But Putin likes seeing all the seasoned career civil service workers fired. Another pillar of govt destabilized & out of his way to all the data he wants & Econ chaos that makes him smile. Thank you MAGA; this is all on you.
Bad, but worse if it’s his own non secure Grok x.
Look at what the Muskrat is wearing to this Cabinet meeting. Did anyone call him out. It a big NO! Republicans are a bunch of schoolyard bullies.
If the United States were to allow its systems to collapse, it might be the perfect moment for Europe to step in, take control, and institute democracy.
You will have a healthcare system that serves everyone - not just the wealthy.
We'll also inherit a useless monarchy. No thanks. We have our own faux monarchy to oust right now.
What monarchy? You can do whatever you want, but please don't destroy democracy. Don't become a fascist - that's all I ask.
I hear airplanes overhead. The British monarchy. I have no intention on working to destroy democracy. I also don't intend to be ruled by Europeans. While I am appreciative of the strong move to support Ukraine, I'm not blind to the overall flaws and struggles of Euro nations.
Great Britain isn't even a member of the European Union.
You said Europe. The point is...Europe has its own problems. Establishing European over American citizens is not the solution.
It was a joke. Ofc this is not the way to go.
Whew! Thank goodness. I don't have as much of a sense of humor these days and crazy solutions being proposed abound. 😂
Republicans are Trump accomplices. They are all in this together. Remember. Republicans approve of this Coup. This would all STOP if they objected. Treat them accordingly!
Some of that unpopular recognition needs to be given to the Democrats who voted MAGA just on 2 issues.
HAha. Sure.
The Democrats aren’t much better, if we make it out of this alive, they all need to be removed from office.
They just need to co-ordinate better and present a more united (and professional) front. It's just random at the mo. Unless there's a decent opposition you can't stop this. Not sure how it can all be undone either
The techno-nazi Musk don't care. As long as taking a wrecking ball to the US federal government is moving him closer to his dream of a neo-feudal future where his technology control everything, Musk is winning! (and humanity is losing) www.ngrippel.com/ngr-politics...
People will come to the slow realization that Musk is a moron
But ... but .... but the Broligarchs think AI is going to create God! ... Or maybe the Broligarchs think they'll become gods by creating AI. Anyway, something like that.
CNN, you left out Musk and DOGE could be using AI to remove workers that can be identified as people of color (which includes highly qualified and essential workers).
Why does #Musk never sit down? Is it because a) he is the grim reaper b) he actually isn’t fully accepted by #trump and cronies and can be ‘whacked’ when no longer useful c) he has a big and painful spot on his arse
Yes the text summary of five bullet points is a lot of data for such AI to train and make decisions 😬. This is beyond ridiculous.
...."reportedly" by "experts" "could" CNN again, not reporting any facts.
SnortWhite and the Seven Dorks finding ways to make even stupider decisions.
Intelligence it's not. The old adage of rubbish in = rubbish out still applies
Explains a lot actually.
😢
ar·ti·fi·cial; [ˌärdəˈfiSH(ə)l] (adjective): Made or produced by human beings rather than occurring naturally; (of a situation or concept) not existing naturally; contrived or false There we have it - trump/musk firings/cost cutting #s are fake & false! Corruption at its most dangerous than ever!
That you still use the phrase “cost-cutting” is evidence of broken journalism.
Is Musks AI the 19 year old nerds that makes firing and hiring decisions of government employees? Americans needs to protest against the most insane of their actions. This guys head is probably already on Mars...
@cnn.com it's already doing just that. Look at them scrambling trying to hire people back
By "using artificial intelligence" that means sending government data to Musk's xAI company servers.
Exactly!
and Putin
👍
Elon said he’d ban iPhones from his workplace because of worries about AI security breaches and yet
It will come
Artificial Intelligence needs as much data & more for it to work. The Q/A emails to fed employees are being used as data points so that the AI can be predictive. Combine the Q/A w/ demographics for each employee & AI can be better than a horoscope. If people lie in the Q/A then AI cannot work
AI needs context.
Can we agree to not call these "cost-cutting decisions" now? The aftermath, the lawsuits, the eventual cleanup, will be incredibly expensive and unfortunately in some cases these decisions are willfully deadly.
Indeed.
Oh wow. Look at you guys doing some reporting. Also, thanks Captain Obvious
His AI driven cars crash as well sooo.....
The fact that this is being allowed to happen means exactly that. It’s being allowed to happen.
🚫AI
Stupid is as stupid does
so basically using AI just like health insurance companies do to deny people. 😒😒😒
His AI still can't steer a car around town after predicting full autonomy every year for almost the past 10 years. www.autoblog.com/news/teslas-...
Shit. Ya think!?
Just following Putin’s orders.
They seem to be putting a lot of faith in AI…or are they using it as some kind of random redundancy generator
He is uploading this data so that it learns and also acts as an archival storage device so that he can peruse through the data later for Bill Gates and Sam Altman information so he can retaliate.
Did y'all just forget to use the word 'illegal'? Because none of this shit is legal. If only y'all knew some journalists. But, you don't. You're only stenographers.
The coup.
It’s a disgrace !
WHERE IS MUSCOVITCHs SUIT!!!!!
That's so obvious that Musk is using AI to make the cuts in USgov faster. He did the same thing with x and the hackers that are being working with him since day 1
AI is nowhere near intelligent enough to make these decisions. Especially when the parameters it uses are set up with who they are set up by
I think it’s already done that
Why isn't that ultra right-wing eejit Muskwearing a suit?
Musk has brought his self-driving car to the Federal government. But instead of crashing and burning we will...?
I will be so wonderful when Musk’s cuts all come to a disastrous end. He will hopefully screw up and hopefully the American economy will suffer. The tariffs should also harm their economy. Trump hoping to have American products - that’ll take years and be expensive - can’t wait for it to fail!
The lazy man’s way to manage.
We are in the most disturbing dystopian televised show.
Yes, The Trump Show.
AI meets all the requirements of corrupt doge.
I think that’s the point
Dear American friends, get rid of this miserable drug addict as soon as possible! 😒 #Musk
He is rolling out the red carpet for the Kremlin. It's that simpel. You guys are compromised.
Why think when you have have an underinformed AI do it for you?
this is concerning! I thought their actions were supposed to benefit the American people. My microwave exploded and I have glass in my brain
How much is Putin gaining from this?!?
He/they need to be gone!
🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Trump just declared war on the First Amendment. He wants to defund universities, jail protesters, and silence dissent. This isn’t just another Trump rant—it’s a blueprint for authoritarianism. History shows where this leads. Read now before it’s too late. jasonegenberg.substack.com/p/trumps-fir...
Nazi Germany all over again.
It's almost as if they don't care and they're trying to dismantle the federal government in a technocratic coup or something wild like that
AI is only good as the human who programmed it. Musk is probably using an AI system he created to be in his favor.
😂
Doge department of gay escorts.
Using AI to try to cut spending is hilarious given how much money has been thrown at AI.
Musk shouldn't be in the government directing destruction of our government, no less having access to America's databases. This is nothing to do with efficiency, nothing he's doing is about his stated purpose. It's a cover for a hidden agenda being kept from the public as done in autocratic nations.
Just like how United Health’s AI incorrectly denied claims. And MAGA are too dumb to understand anything beyond guns and transgender athletes
What does the first letter in AI represent? Exactly! Jfc
Fuuuuuck trump and Vance.... Illiterate cocksuckers.... There is bullets with your names on them!
Fuck trump and Vance. Fuck USA!
Proving why anyone working in employment shouldn’t use AI! Far too many errors made because a human isn’t there making the decisions.
Remember GiGo? Garbage in-garbage out .
I disagree. There are legitimate and productive uses for AI. However, AI is not helpful unless vetted/verified by discerning humans. It's not a stand-alone solution. The other problem is using it without an enforced code of ethics. People and companies want the benefits without the accountability.
we are FUBAR
We're all part of some fucking experiment.
CNN... you're not saying it correctly. You haven't said "corrupt" once, or "evil", or "needs to be stopped".
