Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) used artificial intelligence from Meta’s Llama model to comb through and analyze emails from federal workers.
Records show that Llama was deployed to sort through email responses from federal workers to determine how many accepted the offer.
In late February, weeks after the Fork email, OPM sent out another request to all government workers and asked them to submit five bullet points outlining what they accomplished each week.
These emails threw a number of agencies into chaos, with workers unsure how to manage email responses that had to be mindful of security clearances and sensitive information.
In February, NBC News reported that these emails were expected to go into an AI system for analysis.
