Transforming Federal HR: Vought Drives Consolidation and AI Workforce Reforms
Russ Vought, Director of the Office of Management and Budget, continues to drive major changes in federal workforce management. On December 10, according to the Office of Personnel Management published memos, Vought joined with Office of Personnel Management Director Scott Kupor to issue a memo titled Creating Federal Human Resources Two Point Zero by Consolidating Core Human Capital Management Across the Federal Government. This plan calls for a single technology platform to handle all federal human resources data by fiscal year twenty twenty-eight, aiming to streamline operations governmentwide.
Government Executive reports that the joint memo from Vought and Kupor, released on Wednesday, lays out these details for agencies. Just days earlier, on December fifteen, OPM issued a memo on Building the Artificial Intelligence Workforce of the Future, led by Kupor, reflecting Vought's broader push for efficiency amid ongoing workforce reforms.
Vought's influence extends to artificial intelligence policy. ExecutiveGov states that on Thursday, Vought released a seven-page memorandum setting contractual requirements for federal purchases of large language models. The memo enforces unbiased artificial intelligence principles from a July executive order, mandating truth-seeking and ideological neutrality in models. Agencies must gather vendor details on acceptable use policies, model cards, and feedback mechanisms, updating their procedures by March eleven.
Federal workers express anxiety over Vought's role. MS Now describes civil servants feeling insecure amid shutdown threats, linking it to Vought's past comments calling bureaucrats villains and wanting them traumatically affected, ideas tied to Project twenty twenty-five. President Trump praised Vought on October two for using a potential shutdown to shrink bureaucracy.
Criticism also surrounds foreign aid cuts. Mother Jones reports that Vought, alongside others, contributed to slashing U.S. Agency for International Development funding, leading to cholera spikes in South Sudan, though administration officials deny direct deaths from the moves.
These actions highlight Vought's focus on reducing federal size and modernizing systems.
