Part 3/8:
The transition toward an AI-driven government raises serious questions about the human workforce's future. Officials indicate that Musk envisions a scenario where AI not only assists but replaces civil servants, leading to fewer government employees overall. This would dramatically alter the way policies are created and implemented, removing the nuanced checks and balances that human oversight provides.
Previous administrations, such as Donald Trump's, have restructured government entities by purging personnel, but the advent of AI could enable future leaders to make changes instantaneously—simply by updating algorithms. This could lead to extreme policy changes without the usual legislative deliberation, fundamentally altering the nature of governance and public accountability.
