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 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 domain currently redirects to
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
Thomas Shedd
, a former Tesla engineering manager now heading the Technology Transformation Services.

The 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.
