Trump Bans ‘Woke AI’ From Federal Contracts in New Executive Order
President Donald TRUMP signed an executive order prohibiting U.S. government agencies from contracting AI companies whose models exhibit ideological biases or social agendas. The order targets "Woke AI" systems, criticizing their prioritization of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) over factual accuracy. It cites examples such as AI models altering historical figures' race or gender and refusing to depict the achievements of white people.
The directive mandates that federal agencies only procure "truth-seeking" large language models maintaining ideological neutrality. This MOVE intensifies the political debate over AI's role in governance and its alignment with societal values.
