DOGE has built an AI tool to slash federal regulations

The Department of Government Efficiency has announced plans to utilize a new AI tool to substantially reduce federal regulations within the first year of President Donald Trump's potential second term. According to the report, the goal is to eliminate approximately half of the existing regulatory mandates across the federal government. The initiative aims to streamline bureaucratic processes and promote greater efficiency in governance. The AI tool is expected to analyze the vast corpus of federal regulations and identify areas where redundancies, outdated provisions, or overly burdensome requirements can be trimmed or eliminated. This move aligns with the administration's broader agenda of deregulation and reducing the regulatory burden on businesses and citizens. While the plan has garnered support from pro-business advocates, it has also raised concerns among consumer protection and environmental groups about the potential impact on safeguards and public welfare.
