The EPA's proposed 2027 budget calls for a 52% overall cut while requesting $202.2 million specifically to "support the United States becoming the global leader in AI," according to budget documents. The agency also plans to expand internal AI use in pesticide evaluations and permitting, and collaborate with external industry partners on powering AI data centers.
“The EPA's mission, still (surprisingly) on its website, is to "protect human health and the environment." How making America the AI capital of the world furthers this goal is unclear.”
