Leaked on GitHub: US government's entire AI plan, what the page website that has now disappeared revealed

The
Trump
administration's plan to integrate artificial intelligence across all federal agencies was accidentally exposed through a
GitHub
repository before being hastily removed, revealing a July 4 launch date for a new AI.gov platform designed to automate government operations.
The GitHub repository vanished shortly after reporters began asking questions, though it was later found archived in GSA's project collection. The AI.gov domain currently redirects to whitehouse.gov.
Tesla's former engineer to lead the AI platform
The leaked repository, discovered by multiple observers and first reported by 404 Media, showed the General Services Administration (GSA) developing a "whole-of-government, AI-first strategy" under the leadership of

, a former Tesla engineering manager now heading the Technology Transformation Services.

The AI.gov platform will feature three core components: an AI-powered chatbot, an "all-in-one API" connecting agencies to models from OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic, and a monitoring system called "CONSOLE" that tracks real-time AI usage across government departments.
Trump administration seems to go in in full startup mode
Shedd, described as an Elon Musk ally, reportedly wants GSA to "operate like a software startup" and has pushed for AI tools that other agencies will be required to use. The staging site revealed integration plans with Amazon Bedrock, Meta's LLaMA, and various FedRAMP-certified vendors, though some listed models appear to lack proper government certification.
Internal government reaction to the AI push has been "pretty unanimously negative," according to federal employees who expressed concerns about security vulnerabilities and the potential for AI to introduce bugs into critical systems or recommend terminating essential contracts.
Experts worried about security concerns
The leaked documentation shows CONSOLE will monitor how employees use AI tools and track their preferences, raising questions about workplace surveillance. Experts warn that widespread AI adoption could create significant security risks as these systems process confidential data and personally identifiable citizen information.
The July 4 launch date, as seen on the website, suggests that the Trump administration plans to accelerate AI integration as part of broader government efficiency initiatives championed by Musk's Department of Government Efficiency.

OpenAI executives weigh antitrust accusation against Microsoft, WSJ reports
OpenAI executives have considered accusing Microsoft (MSFT.O), opens new tab, the company's major backer, of anticompetitive behavior in their partnership, the Wall Street Journal reported on Monday, citing people familiar with the matter. OpenAI's effort could involve seeking a federal regulatory review of the terms of its contract with Microsoft for potential violations of antitrust law, as well as a public campaign, the report said. Such a move could unravel one of the most pivotal tech partnerships in the fast-growing field of artificial intelligence. OpenAI needs Microsoft's approval to complete its transition into a public-benefit corporation. But the two have not been able to agree on details even after months of negotiations, sources said. The companies are discussing revising the terms of Microsoft's investment, including the future equity stake it will hold in OpenAI, according to the sources. Separately, The Information reported that OpenAI wants Microsoft to hold a 33% stake in a restructured unit in exchange for foregoing rights to future profits, citing a person who spoke to OpenAI executives. The ChatGPT owner wants to modify existing clauses that give Microsoft exclusive rights to host OpenAI models in its cloud, the report added. Microsoft has not agreed to OpenAI's proposed terms and is reportedly seeking additional concessions from the startup, according to The Information. "Talks are ongoing and we are optimistic we will continue to build together for years to come," the companies told Reuters in a joint statement. Microsoft invested $1 billion in OpenAI in 2019 to support the startup's development of AI technologies on its Azure cloud platform. Since then, however, OpenAI has been looking for ways to reduce its reliance on the tech heavyweight. The company plans to add Alphabet's (GOOGL.O), opens new tab Google Cloud service to meet its growing needs for computing capacity, Reuters reported earlier this month.
