No word on whether it’ll speak like Trump.
Chatbots are notoriously sources of misinformation and false confidence, so surely imbuing one with the authority of the federal government won’t cause any problems, right? 404 Media spotted a GitHub repository that shows the Trump administration is working on its very own chatbot that appears set to eventually launch on its own website, AI.gov.
According to 404 Media’s findings, AI.gov appears to be the work of the US General Services Administration’s Technology Transformation Services, which is curently being run by Thomas Shedd. He’s a former Tesla engineer who was identified by the New York Times as an ally of Elon Musk, who was appointed to the role of director of GSA’s tech arm. In audio of a leaked meeting published by 404 Media, Shedd can be heard pushing for AI integration across the government.
While AI.
