AI Software Utilized To Scrutinize U.S. Education Department Spending

According to PANews, a report from The Washington Post on February 6, citing two informed sources, reveals that a team led by Elon Musk within the Government Efficiency Department is employing artificial intelligence (AI) software to analyze sensitive data from the U.S. Department of Education. This initiative aims to investigate the department's expenditures, including identifiable information of grant management personnel and sensitive internal financial data. The Government Efficiency Department team is utilizing AI software provided by Microsoft's Azure cloud service platform to review every financial transaction made by the Department of Education. This includes contracts, grants, and travel expenses. While Azure offers AI software developed by multiple companies, it remains unclear which specific software is being used by the Government Efficiency Department.
