After backlash for removing a webpage about Jackie Robinson, the Pentagon acknowledged that it utilizes AI tools for content moderation. Pentagon press secretary Sean Parnell explained the removal was unintentional, claiming that important historical content was mistakenly purged under a directive aimed at eliminating diversity-focused military content. This situation emerged after a bio on Robinson, an Army veteran and iconic figure, was abruptly taken offline. The controversy highlights ongoing tensions between historical acknowledgment and the Trump administration's stance against 'woke' initiatives in the military.
Because of the realities of AI tools and other software, some important content was incorrectly pulled offline to be reviewed.
We want to be very, very clear, history is not DEI.
When content is either mistakenly removed or if it's maliciously removed, we continue to work quickly to restore it.
This controversy marks yet another dimension of the ongoing struggle against what the administration labels 'Woke cultural Marxism'.
