•HHS's Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is using Palantir and the startup Credal AI to audit existing grants and new grant applications, as well as to identify position descriptions that may need to be adjusted for alignment with the executive orders.
•The executive orders in question aim to end DEI programs and redefine sex as an immutable biological classification, prohibiting the use of federal funds to promote gender ideology, which has already had significant consequences in various government agencies.
