Elon Musk's DOGE team sparks controversy over US government promotion of Grok AI

According to Reuters, Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) team is promoting his AI chatbot Grok within the US federal government, raising concerns about privacy breaches and conflicts of interest. Experts warn that if Grok accesses sensitive government data, it may violate privacy and security regulations. Meanwhile, Musk's company xAI may gain an unfair advantage in federal contracts or misuse government data to improve its AI systems. DOGE's access to the federal database containing personal information of millions of Americans is questioned because federal regulations require strict authorization and supervision of data sharing.
