The Trump administration attempted to streamline the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) by cutting contracts, utilizing a hastily developed AI tool called DOGE, created by a software engineer without relevant expertise. This tool erroneously labeled thousands of contracts as expendable, significantly misrepresenting their values. Reports indicate that the administration flagged over 2,000 contracts for cancellation despite a lack of clarity regarding how many have been terminated. VA officials have stated that nearly 600 contracts were cut, but specific details remain undisclosed, leading to concerns about the impacts on veteran services.
The Trump administration's decision to cut VA contracts relied on a hastily developed AI tool, leading to significant errors in contract assessment.
Contract assessments using outdated AI tools resulted in wrongly inflating the value of contracts, questioning the efficiency of the administration's cuts to veteran services.
