The White House unveiled the 'AI Action Plan' to regulate AI models that conflict with its ideological views on topics like climate change and gender. A new executive order seeks to compel AI companies to modify their language models, ensuring they align with the Trump Administration's agenda by removing perceived 'ideological biases.' This approach, framed as a necessity for accuracy and trustworthiness, is seen as a means of censorship that could undermine the effectiveness and reliability of AI and harm public information access.
The White House's recently-unveiled 'AI Action Plan' wages war on so-called 'woke AI'-including large language models (LLMs) that provide information inconsistent with the administration's views.
The executive order requires AI companies that receive federal contracts to prove that their LLMs are free from purported 'ideological biases' like 'diversity, equity, and inclusion.'
This heavy-handed censorship is a blatant attempt to censor the development of LLMs and restrict them as a tool of expression and information access.
The government may not use that power to influence what services and information are available to the public, impacting the 60 percent of Americans who get information from LLMs.
