Trump touts new AI tool he claims will streamline government information access – US politics live

TL;DR

President Trump unveiled a sweeping new tool meant to streamline access to information on federal government websites and said he will 'never stifle' AI development. The item comes from a Guardian US politics live blog, which also covers an unrelated court ruling that permanently bars the justice department from releasing the second volume of Smith's report.

Nauti's Take

One entry point to federal government sites is a real opportunity to make public information easier to find for citizens and companies. The open question is how the tool handles sources, errors and privacy, and the promise to never stifle AI raises the risk of thin safeguards.

Anyone working with US agencies should try it and verify results before acting on them.
