The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has introduced an AI app to assist remaining employees after mass layoffs at the General Services Administration (GSA). This app, designed to handle repetitive tasks, has been criticized for its limited functionality, likened to the capabilities of an intern. The layoffs have raised concerns about the effectiveness of replacing human workers with AI technology.
The GSAi app, which combines multiple chatbots, was rolled out following the dismissal of over 1,000 employees, including those from the praised 18F tech hub. The app's introduction has been rushed, leading to potential security vulnerabilities and doubts about its reliability. As the government pushes for efficiency through technology, the consequences of these layoffs may lead to unforeseen challenges in managing federal operations.
