Elon Musk’s Doge AI Allegedly Used to Monitor Federal Workers
Recent reports have surfaced alleging that Elon Musk's Doge AI, a sophisticated artificial intelligence system, has been employed to monitor U.S. federal workers. Sources cited by Reuters and Newsweek indicate that the AI, originally developed for other purposes, has been repurposed to spy on employees within various government agencies, raising significant privacy and ethical concerns.
The allegations came to light after an investigation by top oversight Democrats, who have demanded answers regarding the use of Doge AI. The technology, named after the popular Dogecoin cryptocurrency, has been at the center of controversy, especially given Musk's past endorsements of Dogecoin.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is among the agencies reportedly affected by this surveillance. Critics argue that such monitoring could undermine trust and morale among federal workers, who are crucial to the functioning of government services.
Elon Musk has yet to respond to these allegations, but the issue has sparked a broader debate about the ethical use of AI in government operations. As the situation develops, more details are expected to emerge about the extent and legality of Doge AI's use in federal agencies.
