Massive Opportunity in Deregulation
- The US federal regulatory compliance costs are about $3.1 trillion annually, 12% of GDP.
- Eliminating 50% of federal regulations could potentially save $3.3 trillion per year as stated in a recent DOGE pitch deck.
AI Cuts Deregulation Man Hours
- Deregulating 100,000 regulation sections manually would require 3.6 million man hours.
- DOGE's AI reportedly reduces this time by 93% by automating research, drafting, and comment analysis.
AI in HUD and CFPB Deregulations
