A federal mandate requires U.S. government agencies to publicly explain their use of artificial intelligence in operations, yet the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has not provided any such disclosures. Investigations suggest the agency may be operating without transparency regarding AI deployment, raising concerns about accountability. The lack of clarity contrasts with broader government efforts to address AI oversight. Critics question whether the EPA is complying with legal requirements or operating in the shadows.
Federal law requires U.S. government agencies to disclose how they’re using AI tools in their work. But in the case of the EPA, this doesn’t appear to be happening.
