Trump's 'anti-woke AI' order could reshape how US tech companies train their models | TechCrunch
Briefly

Chinese AI models sidestep critical questions about the Communist Party, reflecting Beijing's narratives. This has prompted U.S. leaders to advocate for faster tech advancement without stringent regulations. President Trump's executive order bans "woke AI" from government contracts, labeling diversity and inclusion efforts as potentially harmful. This order could lead to pressures on developers to conform to ideologies favored by the current administration to secure funding. The order aligns with a national shift toward prioritizing AI infrastructure and national security over societal risks.
