Summary
A federal judge ruled that DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency), led by Elon Musk and the Trump administration, unconstitutionally discriminated when it used ChatGPT to eliminate over $100 million in National Endowment for the Humanities grants. The 143-page ruling by Judge Colleen McMahon permanently barred the administration from cutting these grants, which included funding for Holocaust education and a documentary about an anti-Black massacre. The judge found that DOGE's use of AI to target projects supposedly linked to DEI policies was discriminatory and unconstitutional.
