US Democrats demand records on White House AI usage
Democratic members of Congress Jamie Raskin and Robert Garcia have requested that President Donald Trump ensure all official interactions with AI chatbots are recorded. The initiative was launched due to concerns regarding the potential impact of AI on military and foreign policy decisions.
Senior US Democrats have demanded that President Donald Trump ensure all official correspondence and interactions conducted with AI chatbots are preserved under federal law.
In a letter prepared by Congress members Jamie Raskin and Robert Garcia and sent on Wednesday, it was emphasized that questions posed by President Trump and White House aides to AI models, as well as the responses from these systems, constitute 'presidential records.' The Democrats are specifically questioning whether systems owned by private companies, such as Grok, which is owned by Elon Musk, are influencing sensitive military and foreign policy decisions.
The lawmakers have requested a closed-door briefing from the White House by November 11 regarding AI usage, security measures, and the access of third-party companies to sensitive information. The request covers various AI models, including ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. White House officials stated that the administration is maintaining all necessary records in accordance with the law.
