> Speaking to a technology conference, Gabbard said AI programs, when used responsibly, can save money and [1]free up intelligence officers to focus on gathering and analyzing information . The sometimes slow pace of intelligence work frustrated her as a member of Congress, Gabbard said, and continues to be a challenge. AI can run human resource programs, for instance, or scan sensitive documents ahead of potential declassification, Gabbard said. Her office has released tens of thousands of pages of material related to the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy and his brother, New York Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, on the orders of President Donald Trump.
>
> Experts had predicted the process could take many months or even years, but AI accelerated the work by scanning the documents to see if they contained any material that should remain classified, Gabbard said during her remarks at the Amazon Web Services Summit in Washington. "We have been able to do that through the use of AI tools far more quickly than what was done previously -- which was to have humans go through and look at every single one of these pages," Gabbard said.

So... did they deploy an on prem AI or are they shoving all of our sensitive documents into public AI models? Because given the opsec of the rest of the administration I have a feeling that there's a lot of stuff out in the wild that isn't supposed to be now.

I'll bet a beer it is contracted out. Nobody nurtures in-house expertise anymore, it's considered stupid to think for yourself anymore.
Cheaper to pay by the month and requires no thought. Which is how you become dependent on third parties. Even core management functions are often contacted out now.

whatever happened to transparent government? (Score:2, Insightful)
A government that keeps secrets is most likely a corrupt and dishonest government.
The "national security" excuse is just that, an excuse. And its an excuse that is metastacizing until nearly everything becomes "classified" somehow.
In my view, if a government is not open and transparent it should be abolished and replaced. simple as that.
Re:whatever happened to transparent government? (Score:4, Insightful)
No, there are all kinds of information the government has that are legitimately not available. Sensitive data on private citizens, for example, which is why people are worried about unvetted DOGE employees getting unfettered access to federal systems. Information that would put witnesses in ongoing criminal investigations at risk. Military operations in progress and intelligence assets in use.
The problem is ever since there has been a legal means to keep that information secret, it's also been used to cover up government mistake and misconduct. It's perfectly reasonable for a government to keep things from its citizens *if there is a specific and articulable justification* that can withstand critical examination.
And sometimes those justifications are overridden by public interest concerns -- specifically when officials really want to bury something like the Pentagon Papers because they are embarrassing to the government. "Embarrassing to the government" should be an argument against secrecy, because of the public interest in knowing the government is doing embarrassing things. In the end, the embarrassment caused by the Pentagon Papers was *good* for the country.

Bush already cleaned house (Score:1)
When Bush was head of the CIA, you know he "cleaned house" and destroyed any good evidence. I was 4 years old when that happened. Only thing I remember about it was the Saturday cartoons were not on because of it. Didn't understand it then... Anyone connected to the assassination if they were 20 years old is in their 80's today, if it was a conspiracy, they are either dead or almost dead, so what good would it do to "find the answer" if there was one? Hold the children who's parent(s) did it responsible?

We will when everyone listed in them is dead. Too many power brokers involved in those files for them to come out within their lifetimes. Most of us will likely be dead before they're released as well. I would assume family members won't want names leaking until a generation or two down the line, when it'll be acceptable to say, "Prior generations had different standards," and they can paint all of society as being complicit in their shittery.
