Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has rapidly enacted significant changes in the federal government during the early days of Donald Trump's second term. Over 200,000 jobs have been cut, backed by aggressive cost-cutting measures that disproportionately target diversity initiatives and cybersecurity. The controversial application of AI to streamline processes raises concerns among experts about wrongful firings and sensitive data misuse, with critics suggesting that the underlying goal is merely to reduce government size rather than improve efficiency.
It's misguided for us to think that people who control technology and the associated power levers are naive about AI's capabilities.
Their goal is just to reduce the size of government, to reduce government spending, and to do this in a way that is just disorienting to everybody in society.
