Administration Plans to Launch AI Government Infrastructure Leak Online
BY JEFF SKINNER
STATEWIDE - According to files leaked on filesharing website GitHub, The Trump Administration is planning a new AI government infrastructure launch, which will take place on July 4, 2025. The new AI.gov website will allow government agencies to tap into AI infrastructure from Google and more. Currently, the domain for AI.gov redirects to whitehouse.gov, indicating the domains are owned by the same party.
The plans were discovered by code repository researchers through the website that were quick to discover the operation before it was taken down, thankfully archiving much of the information and URLs before it could be wiped. An archive of the plans can be found here. An archive of the AI.gov constructed site was additionally snagged before it was scrubbed and can be found here.
The operation is being spearheaded by the General Services Administration's Technology Transformation Services department. Thomas Shedd is the current TTS director, who was appointed in January. Shedd hopes to add AI to government operations, and the AI.gov website is the first step in integrating government operations with artificial intelligence.
Shedd’s professional career was a software integration engineering manager at Tesla before being tapped to head the TTS. Shedd came to the TTS with an AI focused agenda. He reportedly wants to operate the GSA like a software startup, and has proposed a whole-of-government, AI-first strategy to automate much of the work done by federal employees today. AI.gov will serve as a hub for government agencies to begin adding AI to their operations by allowing agencies to feed information into an AI portal in an “all-in-one API" that will allow agencies to connect their systems to models from OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic; and something called "CONSOLE," which the page describes as a "groundbreaking tool to analyze agency-wide implementation."
According to release information available through GitHub, CONSOLE will allow agencies to monitor AI usage at their agencies in real time to see how employees are using tools and which ones they prefer.
The move is arguably a massive heel turn by the administration on the base conservative movement, which mobilized significantly against the rollout of AI backed governance, digital identification and increased surveillance, which has long been outlined under the banner of The Great Reset and Agenda 2030.
The move comes on the heels of massive AI infrastructure construction throughout the state of Ohio, including data centers being built across the state and the pushing of AI in everything from parking garages to classrooms. According to The Register, which helped break the story of the AI.gov initiative, the administration has sweeping plans to implement AI in decision making capacities as well, including key military operations, drawing into question principles on democratic and national sovereignty.
The administration has made significant moves to promote AI in government and even moved to prohibit states from any AI based regulation within the Big Beautiful Bill. Critics say major concerns exist with AI systems operated and managed by outside parties potentially gobbling up citizen information.
