DOGE used ChatGPT in a way that was both dumb and illegal, judge rules

A US District Judge ruled that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) acted unconstitutionally by using ChatGPT to assess grant eligibility based on diversity, equity, and inclusion criteria. The decision, stemming from a lawsuit by humanities groups, criticized DOGE for improperly disqualifying grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities. This ruling highlights the legal implications of using AI in decision-making processes related to funding.
