DOGE has an AI tool to help decide which federal regulations to 'delete'

The tool has misread the language of the law multiple times already.

Just because Tesla and X CEO Elon Musk has taken a step back from the spotlight doesn’t mean DOGE — the so-called "Department of Government Efficiency" — has stopped pushing its controversial tech agenda inside the federal government.

According to a report from The Washington Post, DOGE is now deploying an AI tool to help federal agencies identify and eliminate regulations en masse. Internal PowerPoint slides obtained by the Post detail what’s being called the "DOGE AI Deregulation Decision Tool," which claims to have flagged 100,000 of 200,000 federal rules as ripe for deletion.

DOGE's goal is to build a "delete list," cutting half of all federal regulations by September 1. It’s designed to target rules no longer required by law and is reportedly being rolled out across multiple agencies — including the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), where it has allegedly written "100% of deregulations," and the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), where it’s been used to review over 1,000 regulatory sections.

But accuracy is already an issue. Several HUD employees told the Post that the AI frequently misunderstands legal language and misidentifies rules, raising concerns about the tool’s reliability in policy decisions.

The Deregulation Decision Tool is just one of many AI-driven projects DOGE has introduced under the Trump administration. Other initiatives include an AI-first overhaul of the U.S. General Services Administration, automated monitoring of EPA communications for DEI or anti-Trump/Musk content, and using AI to write code for the Department of Veterans Affairs — a project reportedly riddled with bugs and errors.
