PANews reported on February 7 that the Washington Post reported on the 6th, citing two people familiar with the matter, that the Government Efficiency team led by Elon Musk has been using artificial intelligence (AI) software to sort through sensitive data of the U.S. Department of Education to investigate the department's spending. The data includes information that can identify the identity of the people who manage the grants and sensitive financial data within the Department of Education. The Government Efficiency team is using artificial intelligence software provided by Microsoft's Azure cloud service platform to review every penny allocated by the Department of Education, including contracts, grants, and travel expenses. Azure provides AI software developed by multiple companies, and it is not yet clear which software the Government Efficiency Department uses.
