""The public has a right to know the extent to which the administration has used unreliable and unproven AI tools to expand its agenda of undermining regulations that protect people," Skye Perryman, president and CEO of Democracy Forward, said in a press release. "AI is a tool, but it must be ethically and skillfully utilized. AI is also not a replacement for the skilled professionals in our civil service who work to protect the health, safety, wages, and rights of millions of Americans. Democracy Forward will continue to hold this administration accountable to the people.""
""Improving Performance, Accountability and Responsiveness in the Civil Service.""
A nonprofit, Democracy Forward, filed a lawsuit against the Office of Personnel Management, the General Services Administration, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, and the Office of Management and Budget for failing to respond to FOIA requests about AI use. The FOIA sought information on agencies' use of AI systems to analyze public comments and implement policy, including tools used by OPM in reviewing responses to the proposed rule "Improving Performance, Accountability and Responsiveness in the Civil Service." Democracy Forward submitted additional FOIAs seeking inputs and outputs of OPM AI tools and asked how GSA, HUD, and OMB leverage AI in policy implementation. The nonprofit cited concerns about unreliable AI expanding efforts to weaken protective regulations and said agencies must be accountable; the agencies must respond to the lawsuit within 30 days.
