Congress hears of rewards, security risks of government use of AI
SUMMARY: AI experts testified before the House Oversight Committee about AI’s potential and challenges in federal use. AI can improve government efficiency, as seen in departments like Health and Human Services and Veterans Affairs. However, outdated IT systems, slow procurement processes, and data privacy risks hinder adoption. Experts urged faster, secure integration through reforms such as a White House AI council, increased R&D funding, workforce AI literacy, and global alliances. Concerns were raised over Elon Musk’s controversial use of unauthorized AI on sensitive data via DOGE, risking national security. Recommendations include using AI for automating routine tasks and creating regulatory sandboxes to safely test AI before broad deployment.
