US EditionTrump order targets 'woke' AI
UNITED STATES, JUL 29 – Trump's order requires AI used in federal contracts to exclude diversity and inclusion concepts and aims to reduce regulations while promoting what the administration calls "truth-seeking" AI.
- President Donald Trump issued an executive order titled 'Preventing Woke AI in the Federal Government' to restrict so-called 'woke' AI, marking the first federal effort to shape AI ideology.
- Trump targets DEI concepts, the order bars AI models built with what it calls 'destructive' diversity, equity and inclusion ideology, including critical race theory and transgenderism.
- Industry leaders cautioned, `this will be extremely difficult for tech companies to comply with,` Jim Secreto said, highlighting industry concerns about the order's implementation.
- Requiring tech companies to prove their chatbots aren't 'woke' pushes the order into a study period before official rules, potentially fueling industry conflicts.
- Despite this tone, Chilson says the directive doesn't ban ideological agendas, and xAI recently won a $200 million defense contract days after Grok posted antisemitic commentary.
