US Representatives Demand Preservation of All White House Chatbot Prompts and Responses
US House Democrats Jamie Raskin and Robert Garcia have demanded the preservation of every prompt and response of the White House chatbot, arguing that these prompts are presidential records owned by the US government. Their 10-point briefing request covers whether vendors, subcontractors, or external parties can access White House prompts, logs, and metadata, as well as whether model training can absorb input from Executive Office employees, and calls for safeguards against model inversion and data leakage. The request is currently of limited binding force, as the Department of Justice argues that the Presidential Records Act is unconstitutional.
Body
US House Democrats Jamie Raskin and Robert Garcia want every White House chatbot prompt and answer preserved.
They argue these prompts are presidential records owned by the United States.
Their 10 briefing demands include whether vendors, subcontractors or outside parties can access White House prompts, logs and metadata, and whether model training can absorb inputs from Executive Office staff.
They also ask for safeguards against model inversion and data leakage, which treats chatbot use as a security exposure as well as a records problem.
The request carries little force for now, because the Justice Department has argued the Presidential Records Act is unconstitutional
