## Resource

Yesterday Oracle got authorization to run generative AI on federal government data. The highest civilian security clearance + Department of Defense clearance + Medicare records + Military systems. I've written a policy brief asking Congress for three specific things: a formal conflict of interest review, data firewall requirements, and Oracle treated as a related party instead of a neutral vendor. The brief is on the Substack below, along with every filing and citation so you can check the work yourself.I've also sent this to every member of the Senate Antitrust Subcommittee. If this connects the dots for you, I genuinely encourage you to do the same — there's a template message and all their contact information is also available on my Substack.Substack: thedreydossier.substack.com Learn more about your ad choices.
