From MSN:
The Trump administration has built a tool powered by artificial intelligence that its developers promise will serve as a “concierge” to the federal government, as it attempts to modernize the relationship between citizens and the state.
“Instead of forcing citizens to search through the endless maze of tens of thousands of terrible government websites,” President Trump said at a Tuesday event launching the website, “you’ll now have one front door for every single question.”
Joe Gebbia, co-founder of Airbnb and head of the White House’s National Design Studio, said the online portal will function as a new digital front door to the federal government. He said the technology—in time—will serve as the final destination for all federal constituent services, setting a standard “you’d expect of a superpower.”
Renew a passport or start Medicare enrollment. Reserve a federal campsite or check on the status of federal student loans. Eventually, all of those tasks, and more, Gebbia said, can be started and completed, on America.gov. ...
Version 1.0 of the product will launch Tuesday, said General Services Administrator Edward Forst, whose agency will provide what he described as “the ongoing backbone” of the technology as more advanced iterations are released. ...
The hubris of people like Gebbia knows no bounds. They just can’t comprehend that government operations are vastly more complex than anything they’ve ever dealt with in the private sector. Other than as a collection of links this project will have essentially zero ability to help the public interact with Social Security in the foreseeable future.
