I'm surprised this is not front page today, this is literally the catastrophic failure all the tech companies are highlighting in their urging for government oversight; did anyone look at the "coming soon" section? You can, if you like, start giving them your PII now, so it will be already in the database come 2027 when they launch login.gov - all of our PII behind a single closed gate.
And AI will be the gatekeeper.
They launched this as a wrapped up agent with limited tooling but people were using it against the administrations intended uses, so they basically stripped more of those functions to keep it narrow in focus. But this website tells you all you need to know on it's face. Rushed, poorly implemented cutting edge tech.
Sound familiar? It works for the big tech companies because it amounts to profits.
It does not work for an administration meant to be pioneering a safer future
