DOGE used Meta AI model to review emails from federal workers

a year ago

Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) used Meta's Llama 2 AI model to analyze federal workers' email responses to the 'Fork in the Road' email.
The 'Fork in the Road' email offered deferred resignation to federal workers opposed to Trump administration policies, including return-to-office mandates and loyalty requirements.
Meta's Llama 2 was deployed locally to classify responses, avoiding data transmission over the internet.
DOGE operatives integrated into the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) to create a government-wide email service, with involvement from former Tesla engineer Riccardo Biasini.
OPM later requested federal workers submit weekly 'five points' summaries of accomplishments, causing confusion and security concerns.
DOGE may have reused Llama 2 to analyze these weekly reports, though this is unconfirmed.
Initially, DOGE did not use Musk's Grok AI due to limited access, but recent Microsoft Azure integration could make Grok more accessible for government use.
Other AI tools like CamoGPT (US Army), GSAi (GSA chatbot), and AutoRIF (mass firing software) have been deployed by DOGE across agencies.
