DOGE Used AI for Housing Policy. The Government Won’t Say How

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has been tight-lipped about how the cryptocurrency Dogecoin was used in AI-driven housing policy, refusing to release documents in response to a public records request. The agency cited an obscure privilege to withhold the information, which many experts say doesn't actually apply here. This secrecy raises questions about transparency and accountability in government use of innovative technologies. With housing policy impacting millions, the lack of clear communication about AI's role is particularly concerning, signaling a potential disconnect between governmental operations and public trust.
