Virginia’s New AI Pilot Program to Cut Regulations and Raises Questions on Efficiency, Transparency
UNITED STATES, JUL 27 – The Department of Government Efficiency aims to cut half of 200,000 federal regulations using AI, potentially saving $1.5 trillion annually and unlocking $600 billion in investment, officials said.
- On July 1, 2025, the Department of Government Efficiency started using an AI tool to analyze about 200,000 federal regulations aiming to cut half by President Trump's inauguration anniversary.
- This effort follows President Trump's directive to reduce regulatory burdens and relies on deadlines like September 1 for agencies to propose rules for elimination.
- The AI tool reviewed 1,083 regulatory sections at HUD in less than two weeks and was responsible for drafting all of the regulatory rollbacks carried out by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, despite some reported inaccuracies.
- A DOGE PowerPoint estimates that reducing regulations by half could yield annual savings of $1.5 trillion, stimulate $600 billion in new investments, boost U.S. sales by $1.1 trillion, and reduce the federal budget deficit by $85 billion.
- A representative from the White House indicated that the plan to deregulate using AI is still in its initial phases and emphasized that various approaches are being considered, even as critics express worries about transparency and the potential for excessive government reach.
