US EditionMusk’s DOGE expanding his Grok AI in US government, raising conflict concerns
- Elon Musk’s team known as DOGE is increasing the deployment of his AI chatbot Grok to analyze federal data, including information from the Department of Homeland Security, starting in 2025.
- This expansion follows DOGE gaining access to highly sensitive government databases that hold personal information on millions of U.S. citizens, prompting concerns about privacy protections and potential violations of conflict-of-interest regulations.
- DOGE staff promoted Grok to DHS officials despite it lacking formal approval, and privacy experts warn this use could expose protected data and risk favoritism toward Musk's company xAI.
- Ethics expert Richard Painter stated that DOGE appears to be compelling government agencies to adopt software that financially benefits Musk and xAI, potentially breaching laws that prohibit officials from engaging in matters where they have a financial interest.
- The situation implies a serious privacy threat and possible legal conflicts, while Musk plans to reduce his government role but maintain DOGE's AI efforts beyond his departure.
