Elon Musk-led DOGE's big plan for the US government: Replace humans with AI tools and automate majority of jobs

The Department of Government Efficiency is trying to consistently adapt new measures to cut down the federal workforce to a minimum through various means, and is now resorting to means like making buildings and commute facilities 'below par' so that employees take a decision to up and quit. This new technique for boosting attrition has surfaced in a new report, says a Fortune report.

Is Trump trying to shrink the federal workforce using 'unconventional' means?

Shrinking the federal workforce by using various means could reportedly be the first step towards automating a part of the federal workforce, say reports. Once a chunk of employees quit, DOGE staffers would then try to use AI tools to government records and attempt understanding the way they could replace humans and utilize AI for these jobs instead. Everything that can be automated through AI could immediately see layoff of the human workforce and the 'technocrats would then replace the bureaucrats'.

DOGE is even reportedly planning on developing a Chatbot for the federal government's GSA, which would assist in analyzing various kinds of documents and contracts. That would help in getting more work done and boost employee productivity at the GSA. All of this comes along the lines of President Trump's administration giving federal employees the option to resign voluntarily or face a layoff spree. However, that has moved towards a legal battle now, with a judge recently blocking this call by the federal government.
