According to a recent report by OPEXUS, federal FOIA officers express concern over reduced staffing amid increasing open records requests, noting a 6% decrease in personnel.
The report highlights that nearly half of FOIA personnel believe increased staffing would significantly improve their ability to manage requests effectively.
OPEXUS CEO Howard Langsam emphasized the detrimental impact of AI-driven bots, noting that agencies are experiencing a 'crippling' influx of automated FOIA submissions.
With over 200,000 requests backlogged, FOIA offices are struggling to keep pace as bots exacerbate an already demanding workload, further complicating request processing.
