Trump Administration Pushes AI to Replace Government Workers After Mass Layoffs

If you put the employees of the state institutions at the door, the state can no longer perform its tasks. The gaps in the US government apparatus created by the countless layoffs are to be filled with artificial intelligence.

Trump strokes hurdles for AI in the authorities

According to its own statements, the new US government under Trump wants to rely on artificial intelligence (AI) on a large scale in order to increase the “efficiency” of the government in everyday life. According to a report by the news agency Reuters Yesterday the White House asked the federal ministries to appoint “Chief Ai Officer”, i.e. name leading civil servants who are intended to advance the introduction of AI technologies in the authorities.

According to the report, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has instructed the government agencies to develop management approaches with minimal risk that are to be used in a wide range of AI technology. In addition, the authorities should develop approaches for the use of generative AI within the coming months.

Now painted by bidges for AI

The authorities would have to adapt a forward -based and innovation approach that uses the technology to form the future of government business, according to the OMB in a message. In his letter, the OMB also took back a number of decisions from the previous government under bidges.

Some of these regulations from bidges had been introduced as protective measures with which one wanted to ensure transparency in the processing of US citizens and the protection of civil rights. Also among bidges, the authorities were asked to name decision -makers for dealing with AI, but they were much more careful.

The new guidelines of the Trump government expressly throw this caution overboard. You have to “maximize the use of AI from America,” said the omb. To this end, “unnecessary bureaucratic restrictions for the use of innovative American AI in the executive” would now be removed. Incidentally, the authors of the letter assured that privacy should remain protected.
