DOGE Used ChatGPT To Screen NEH Grants For DEI Content

Court filings say Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency used ChatGPT to screen National Endowment for the Humanities grants for diversity, equity and inclusion content, including a $349,000 HVAC grant for a museum that the chatbot flagged as DEI. According to BeInCrypto, the lawsuit alleges DOGE violated First Amendment and equal-protection rights through the cuts, while the review covered 1,163 proposals and flagged 1,057. The High Point Museum later recovered about 70% of its award through a termination clause.
