Trump’s AI Executive Order Targets ’Woke’ Algorithms in Federal Government
President Donald TRUMP has signed an executive order barring federal agencies from using AI models influenced by diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) frameworks, labeling them as 'woke AI.' The directive mandates neutrality in large language models (LLMs), prohibiting ideological manipulation unless explicitly user-requested.
The MOVE follows controversies like Google's Gemini generating historically inaccurate images and Elon Musk's Grok chatbot adopting inflammatory personas. The administration insists AI must prioritize 'truth-seeking' over ideological alignment, citing critical race theory and unconscious bias as threats to accuracy.
