AI slop responses to RFPs, RFIs are overwhelming federal agencies
“We used to get maybe 10 responses to an RFI or RFP,” Chaudhry said”
What happened
A Transportation Department AI adviser said agencies that once got about 10 replies when they asked companies for proposals now get around 500, because bidders run the request through a chatbot and send back what comes out. He said whole-of-government teams are now working on the problem of reading it all.
