The article discusses the controversial use of AI technology by Sweet, a HUD employee, to review department regulations. The AI output includes suggestions for rewriting regulations and percentages indicating noncompliance, though how these figures are generated remains unknown. While Sweet's role and recruitment for this task are ambiguous, sources within HUD express skepticism, questioning both the redundancy of the efforts and the clarity of Sweet's job title. The lack of comment from HUD officials further complicates the narrative around AI's utility in regulatory processes.
It's unclear how Sweet was recruited to DOGE, but a public GitHub account indicates that he was working on this issue even before he joined Musk's demolition crew.
One HUD source who heard about Sweet's possible role in revising the agency's regulations said the effort was redundant because the agency was already 'put through a multi-year multi-stakeholder meatgrinder before any rule was ever created.'
The spreadsheet details how many words can be eliminated from individual regulations and gives a percentage figure indicating how noncompliant the regulations are.
A spokesperson for the agency said they do not comment on individual personnel, indicating the level of confidentiality surrounding Sweet's involvement.
