A DOGE AI Tool Called SweetREX Is Coming to Slash US Government Regulation
Named for its developer, an undergrad who took leave from UChicago to become a DOGE affiliate, a new AI tool automates the review of federal regulations and flags rules it thinks can be eliminated.
Christopher Sweet, a DOGE affiliate who was initially introduced to colleagues as a “special assistant” and who was until recently a third-year student at the University of Chicago, co-led the call and was identified as the primary developer of SweetREX (thus, its name). (WIRED previously reported that he had application-level access to critical HUD systems; Kukun is a proptech firm that is, according to its website, “on a long-term mission to aggregate the hardest to find data.”) While Sweet led the development side of SweetREX, Langmack said he was taking point on demoing the tool for different agencies and pitching them on its benefits. Last month, a HUD worker told WIRED that combing through the regulations flagged by the AI to explain why they might still be needed was “painful.” However, several people who asked questions during Wednesday's call praised SweetREX as “awesome” and “great.”
