Does White House ask AI to decide policy? Democrats want the receipts

Senior Democrats have called on President Donald Trump to preserve records of any official exchanges with artificial intelligence chatbots, including Elon Musk's Grok, raising concerns about whether the AI influenced sensitive military decisions. In a letter obtained by Politico, Congressmen Jamie Raskin and Robert Garcia emphasized that questions posed by Trump and White House aides, along with the chatbots' responses, should be considered presidential records under federal law.

The lawmakers requested a closed-door briefing by November 11 to discuss the president's use of AI, security measures, and potential access by outside companies to sensitive conversations. The letter highlights past controversies surrounding Grok, such as generating antisemitic statements and sexualized images of children, and questions whether the AI, designed by Musk, could pose a threat to national security.
