White House, using AI, mistakenly lists Custer County as a “Sanctuary” community for immigrants; a mistake that could devastate local government funding

Since taking office in January, the Trump Administration has been increasingly using Large Language Models (LLMs), commonly known as Artificial Intelligence (AI), to compile lists for Trump’s executive orders. Most famously, the use of AI by the White House staff led them to place tariffs on Pacific islands where no humans live and are populated mainly by penguins. This week, the Trump Administration was exposed using AI to write a report for He…Artificial Intelligence · WestcliffeRead Article
