Summary

  • A former Palantir employee and co-founder of AcclerateX, Anthony Jancso, who was an early DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) recruiter, has suggested that the role of 70,000 federal workers could be replaced by AI.
  • His company is currently hiring for a “DOGE project” to develop benchmarks for the implementation of AI deployment across workflows in federal agencies.
  • In a post, Jancso said that 300 roles with “almost full-process standardisation” could free up 70,000 federal jobs.
  • This would see government agencies using AI to perform roles currently conducted by humans.
  • Since its creation at the start of the last Trump administration, DOGE has pushed for the increased use of AI across federal agencies, while also making cuts to tens of thousands of public sector jobs.
