In the first two weeks of the administration, the group has upended federal agencies and urged workers to resign in order to reduce costs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Musk allies who have taken on roles inside government agencies are evaluating how to harness A.I. to identify budget cuts and detect waste and abuse, according to people familiar with internal conversations, who spoke on the condition of anonymity out of fear of retaliation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">On Monday, Thomas Shedd, a former Tesla engineer who was appointed by the new administration to head technology efforts at the General Services Administration, told some staffers that A.I. would be a key part of their cost-reduction work, according to four people with knowledge of the conversation. At the agency, some staffers have been informed that they will be expected to cut 50 percent of its budget.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The agency houses the Technology Transformation Services, a group of roughly 700 technologists that Mr. Musk\u2019s DOGE has seen as a key resource of engineering talent. Members of DOGE \u2014 who Mr. Shedd has referred to in internal messages as his \u201cadvisers\u201d \u2014 have spent the past two weeks interviewing workers, asking them to describe their technical accomplishments and identify co-workers who exhibit \u201cexceptional\u201d talent.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Meeting with T.T.S. members Monday, Mr. Shedd said he hoped to pool all government contracts in a central database and use artificial intelligence to assess them for potential redundancies and budget reductions, the people familiar with the discussion said. He noted that the acting G.S.A. administrator, a Trump appointee and Salesforce executive named Stephen Ehikian, is maintaining an A.I. strategy document.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">A.I. could also be used as a tool to detect fraud and waste, Mr. Shedd added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Neither G.S.A. nor Mr. Shedd responded to requests for comment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">While both the Trump and Biden administrations have signaled an interest in increasing federal spending on the use of A.I. technologies across government, it\u2019s unclear if the emerging technology could be used to identify overspending or fraud as Mr. Musk\u2019s allies envision. In public discussions, Mr. Musk has, with little evidence, portrayed the U.S. government as rampant with billions of dollars in fraud that can be excised with hard work and technological know-how.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">President Trump has defended Mr. Musk\u2019s vast reach and the tactics he has used to shake up the federal bureaucracy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cHe\u2019s got a team of very talented people, and we\u2019re trying to shrink government, and he can probably shrink it as well as anybody else, if not better,\u201d Mr. Trump told reporters on Monday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Musk has been bullish on building A.I. systems at his companies, while simultaneously warning that the powerful technology could destroy humanity <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2023\/12\/03\/technology\/ai-openai-musk-page-altman.html\" title=\"\">if he does not control it<\/a>. Mr. Musk leads xAI, an artificial intelligence company that provides a chatbot and other services to his social media company, X, and also uses A.I. to power driver assistance systems at Tesla.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">He has also <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/08\/05\/technology\/elon-musk-openai-lawsuit.html\" title=\"\">sued OpenAI<\/a>, his chief competitor, claiming that the firm, which he co-founded, breached its founding contract by putting commercial interests ahead of the public good. Mr. Musk left OpenAI in 2018 after disputes with other co-founders. (The New York Times has <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2023\/12\/27\/business\/media\/new-york-times-open-ai-microsoft-lawsuit.html\" title=\"\">sued OpenAI<\/a> and Microsoft, claiming copyright infringement of news content related to A.I. systems. The two companies have denied the suit\u2019s claims.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The leaders of the nation\u2019s largest A.I. companies \u2014 among them Google, Meta, OpenAI and Amazon \u2014 donated to and attended Mr. Trump\u2019s inauguration last month as they\u2019ve sought to curry favor with a new administration shaping federal policy around the developing technology.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Trump also <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/12\/05\/us\/politics\/david-sacks-crypto-ai-trump.html\" title=\"\">appointed David Sacks<\/a>, a venture capitalist, donor and ally to Mr. Musk, as the \u201cWhite House A.I. and Crypto Czar,\u201d and rescinded the <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/12\/05\/us\/politics\/david-sacks-crypto-ai-trump.html\" title=\"\">Biden administration\u2019s order<\/a> to create A.I. safeguards. Last month, the president also announced <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/01\/21\/technology\/trump-openai-stargate-artificial-intelligence.html\" title=\"\">a new $100 billion A.I. initiative<\/a> between OpenAI, Oracle and SoftBank to create computing infrastructure in the United States to power artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In his new government role, Mr. Musk has insisted that there is ample waste and fraud that has gone undetected, echoing claims he made when he cut costs at companies like Twitter. In a livestream audio conversation that began after midnight on Monday in Washington, Mr. Musk claimed<span class=\"css-8l6xbc evw5hdy0\">  <\/span>that wasteful spending, including \u201cfake people\u201d collecting Social Security and Medicare payments as well as \u201cforeign fraud rings,\u201d was taking $100 billion to $200 billion a year of U.S. taxpayer money.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cA trillion dollars can be saved just by addressing waste, fraud and abuse,\u201d he said without saying how he arrived at that number.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-798hid
