- U.S. judge blocks the Department of Government Efficiency's plan to cut $100 million in National Endowment for the Humanities grants.
- Judge says the ChatGPT prompts used to decide the cuts were ill‑defined, undermining the decision’s validity.
- Department of Government Efficiency—a Trump‑administration project—was criticized for relying on artificial intelligence to make funding decisions.
Why it matters: Humanities scholars and grant recipients retain $100 million of funding, while the Trump administration loses a high‑profile budget cut and its AI‑driven decision model faces judicial rebuke, curbing future reliance on opaque AI prompts.
