50 House Democrats send letter to stop ‘unauthorized’ AI systems in Trump administration

Nearly 50 House Democrats are calling on the Trump administration to halt the use of what they call ‘unauthorized artificial intelligence systems’ in the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), according to a letter sent Wednesday. The lawmakers expressed serious concerns about reported employee monitoring and access to sensitive data.

Led by Representatives Donald Beyer, Mike Levin, and Melanie Stansbury, the Democrats acknowledged AI’s potential to modernize government but warned of “serious security risks, self-dealing, and potential criminal liability” if not properly managed, Reuters reported.
