US EditionDOGE-led software revamp to speed US job cuts even as Musk steps back
- Elon's Department of Government Efficiency has completed a revamped software called AutoRIF to accelerate large-scale federal layoffs as of early 2025.
- This effort follows Trump's initiative to downsize government agencies and reduce the federal workforce, leading to major layoffs and legal challenges.
- AutoRIF, an updated Pentagon program web-based tool, aims to replace the slow manual layoff process and is expected to help cut tens of thousands of jobs at agencies like the Department of Veterans Affairs and IRS.
- Experts caution that using automated systems for layoffs can magnify mistakes across a large scale, decrease transparency, and reinforce existing biases. Moynihan emphasized that embedding flawed assumptions into an automated process can lead to errors that affect many more people than manual decisions ever could.
- Despite Musk stepping back to focus on Tesla, DOGE’s downsizing initiatives, backed by AutoRIF, are set to proceed, potentially reshaping the federal workforce significantly.
