The 'America by Design' initiative by the National Design Studio (NDS) to update 27,000 .gov websites using AI agents has encountered serious problems. Issues identified include errors in visual content, violations of accessibility standards (ADA), and excessive code bloat of up to 3 MB per page. Furthermore, the use of commercial trackers raises questions regarding compliance with the Privacy Act of 1974.
