The U.S. State Department is adopting an artificial intelligence chatbot called StateChat, developed in collaboration with Palantir and Microsoft, to assist in selecting members for its Foreign Service Selection Boards responsible for annual promotion and personnel reviews. Concurrently, the Trump administration is developing its own AI chatbot platform aimed at accelerating artificial intelligence integration across the federal government. This platform, reportedly led by former Tesla engineer Thomas Shedd, is expected to launch on July 4, 2025. While specific functionalities of the Trump administration’s chatbot have not been fully disclosed, it is intended to modernize federal operations using American-built AI tools.
