The Trump administration's DOGE developed a new tool that leverages artificial intelligence (AI) to review federal regulations for potential elimination, according a new report.
The "DOGE AI Deregulation Decision Tool" was designed to review about 200,000 federal regulations and assess which can be eliminated, The Washington Post reported after reviewing a PowerPoint presentation about the tool and its findings that was dated July 1.
The Post reported that about 100,000 of those rules should be considered for elimination on the grounds that they're no longer required under federal law based on the AI tool's review and some feedback from DOGE staffers.
The outlet's report noted the presentation said the U.S. will save trillions of dollars through reduced compliance expenditures, while the tool was used in over 1,000 regulatory assessments at the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), while it also wrote "100% of deregulations" at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB).
The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) developed the tool as part of the administration's goal to promote efficiency in the federal government's operations.
The Post reported that federal agencies are supposed to complete their lists of regulations to eliminate in less than four weeks (Sept. 1), while DOGE is supposed to begin training agency staffers on the use of the AI tool this month.
The group's presentation slides that were published by the Post suggest that cutting regulations by half would save about $1.5 trillion in compliance costs annually, spur $600 billion in investment, yield $1.1 trillion in revenue and shrink the federal budget by $85 billion.
DOGE's efforts have previously focused more on cutting what the administration views as wasteful, though the tool's use in searching for areas where regulations can be rolled back shows the broadening focus of the group that was started by Elon Musk.

With our help, he can succeed.
Winning.
Pretty much all of them. Lets have laws passed by Congress instead. Wouldn't that be something?
Here’s a question for all the tech lovers.

She was one of the dumbest characters on TV
I wrote this 27 years ago:
“She was one of the dumbest characters on TV”
I never saw the show, but do see the ads for it on BBC America. The leading man has to be one of the ugliest characters on TV.
May it continue.
AI should also flag those laws that are unconstitutional.
good idea but it would be quicker to flag the ones that are constitutional.
Al burns up a lot of juice ...
need to be efficient
“AI should also flag those laws that are unconstitutional.”
If you care so much about the Constitution, where in that document does it give an AI program the power to declare something unConstitutional ??????
1st amendment. Redressing grievances. AI is just a tool that lets the user know that “hey, have you seen this law? You might want to get rid of it. “
You don’t need AI...if there’s 200,000 regulations you eliminate them all. Regulations are not law but a governmental order designed to replicate law.
Like it or not, that is what the Supreme Court is for and that is specifically mentioned in the Constitution. Some AI algorithm which only the designers know, and who goals and motivations are unknown (other than what they publicly say) is not a proper tool in government for determining the Constitutionality of anything.
If George Soros was funding, designing and installing an AI application into government data systems to monitor and recommend deletions and or changes to regulations, we would all be apoplectic. To not question the wisdom and propriety of this action just because “our guys” are doing it, is just plain hypocritical.
Nope. That’s what all three branches of government are for and what the 1st amendment is for. AI can just point out to the user which laws seem unconstitutional. The user can then petition his representative to overturn the law, or petition the POTUS to issue an EO preventing the feds from enforcing the law and bully pulpit congress to change the law, or, yes, go through the courts. SCROTUS is immaterial to the first two remedies.
I've always liked BBC for making movies using plausible real-people actors rather than the ultra-pretty actors who are worshiped in the US.
It’s actually an old (2005) Fox TV production. BBC is showing the re-runs.
