Jason Furman argues about ten people with AI could do most of his former economic council’s work
Furman compares his roughly 35-person council staff with about ten people using AI, while retaining human-facing duties.
TLDR
In a Nov. 1 essay, former council chair Jason Furman estimates that about ten people using AI could do most of the work the roughly 35-person Council of Economic Advisers did during his tenure. He still sees roles for people in meetings and persuasion. He argues AI could do much of his former junior work, though that work and the mentorship that came with it shaped his career.
