Trump's new AI policies keep culture war focus on tech companies
Briefly

The Trump administration is intensifying its criticism of 'woke' artificial intelligence systems, perceiving a leftward bias in AI models. Michael Kratsios states that AI must be objective for widespread adoption. Upcoming actions include an executive order to revise Biden-era federal guidelines, eliminating mentions of diversity, equity, and inclusion while prioritizing free speech. As criticism rises from Trump's supporters regarding conservative viewpoint censorship, the AI industry expresses concern over potential measures, fearing disruption in a competitive global landscape. Technologists suggest AI firms may respond by creating 'anti-woke' chatbot versions.
In order for all Americans to adopt and realize the benefits of AI, these systems must be built to reflect truth and objectivity, not top-down ideological bias.
The White House is planning to revise Biden-era federal guidelines for AI safety to remove references to diversity, equity and inclusion, climate change and misinformation.
Trump supporters have increasingly criticized the technology, saying safety guardrails end up censoring conservative views.
The AI industry is deeply concerned about this situation; they're already in a global arms race with AI.
