Incident 11032 Report
Purported DOGE Contract Review Tool Cited in Reports of AI-Driven Misjudgments in VA Budget Cuts

2025-03-18

A purported AI tool using LLMs was deployed to classify Veterans Affairs contracts as expendable based on limited text and simplified criteria. The system allegedly produced hallucinated values and flagged critical healthcare and research services for cancellation. Reportedly, at least two dozen flagged contracts were later terminated.
