Trump signs order banning "woke AI," mandates ideological neutrality in federal tech use
• https://www.naturalnews.com, Laura HarrisUnder the new order, the federal government is barred from procuring or deploying generative large language models (LLMs) that fail to meet new standards for "truthfulness and ideological neutrality." The policy mandates that any AI used by government agencies must be neutral, fact-based and free from "ideological dogmas like diversity, equity and inclusion."
According to the order, compliant LLMs must prioritize "historical accuracy, scientific inquiry and objectivity," and be able to acknowledge uncertainty in cases of incomplete or contested data. The policy sets out broad criteria to ensure models used in government are "nonpartisan tools" that resist political or cultural bias. (Related: Woke liberals are teaching AI systems to hate white people.)
The order instructs Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Director Russ Vought to coordinate with other senior officials to issue detailed implementation guidance across federal agencies. All government contracts involving generative AI will now require explicit clauses enforcing Trump's "Unbiased AI Principles."
"The American people do not want woke Marxist lunacy in their AI models and neither do other countries. They don't want it. They don't want anything to do with it," Trump said before the signing ceremony in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday, July 23. "From now on, the U.S. government will deal only with AI that pursues truth, fairness and strict impartiality."
Trump unveils two other executive orders to supercharge U.S. data centers and global AI exports
In addition to the "anti-woke" AI order, Trump signed two other executive orders designed to boost domestic AI infrastructure and expand U.S. AI influence abroad.
One order accelerates the construction of data centers across the country. It authorizes loans, grants and tax incentives for qualified projects and rescinds Biden-era requirements related to diversity, equity, inclusion (DEI) and climate standards on federal lands. The measure also empowers Cabinet secretaries to fast-track approvals for projects and permits.
Meanwhile, the third order aims to expand America's AI technology abroad by promoting "full-stack, end-to-end packages" of AI systems for allies and partner nations. These packages will include hardware, software, data systems and cybersecurity tools for deployment in sectors such as healthcare, education, agriculture and transportation.
