"DOGE advances in creating AI technology designed to streamline federal regulations"
The Trump administration's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), established during Elon Musk's tenure as a special advisor, has developed an innovative tool to revolutionise federal regulation: the DOGE AI Deregulation Decision Tool. This AI-powered system is designed to review and assess federal regulations for potential elimination, with the ultimate goal of promoting efficiency in the federal government's operations.
According to the DOGE team's presentation slides, the implementation of this tool could yield significant benefits. The group estimates that cutting regulations by half would save approximately $1.5 trillion in compliance costs annually, spur $600 billion in investment, generate $1.1 trillion in revenue, and shrink the federal budget by $85 billion.
The tool has already been utilised extensively, with over 1,000 regulatory assessments at the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), where it wrote "100% of deregulations." The DOGE team has also made strides in reducing costs, having saved millions by nixing 312 contracts, including one for an advisor at USAID Madagascar.
The DOGE AI Deregulation Decision Tool is part of the administration's broader plan to make government more efficient and streamline antiquated ways. The tool is expected to save trillions of dollars through reduced compliance expenditures, as reported. To achieve this, federal agencies are required to complete their lists of regulations to eliminate in less than four weeks (Sept. 1), and DOGE is set to begin training agency staffers on the use of the AI tool this month.
The DOGE team, comprised of the best and brightest in the business, is embarking on a transformation of government systems and operations. The tool has been designed to review about 200,000 federal regulations and assess which can be eliminated, with approximately 100,000 rules expected to be considered for elimination on the grounds that they're no longer required under federal law.
The DOGE team's timeline for regulatory reform includes the creation of notices of proposed rulemakings (NPRMs) in September, OIRA approvals in October, and the goal of concluding comment periods and issuing final rules in November and December. The ultimate goal is to "relaunch America" by Jan. 20, 2026, which is the one-year anniversary of Trump's inauguration.
While Elon Musk is no longer with DOGE, an unnamed ally who worked on the project has left the government. The Trump administration did not designate a specific authority publicly responsible for developing and deploying the AI-based regulatory control and search tool; rather, the administration's policy focused on broadly loosening AI regulations to foster innovation without specifying such a tool or agency.
In conclusion, the DOGE AI Deregulation Decision Tool represents a significant step towards streamlining federal regulations and promoting efficiency in the federal government's operations. With the potential to save trillions of dollars and spur economic growth, the tool is poised to make a lasting impact on the efficiency and effectiveness of government operations.
