Look for “ideological biases” in chatbots. This is one of the axes of the Artificial Intelligence Action Plan announced by the White House this Wednesday, July 23. As revealed a few days ago, he also attacks isolated “Woke”.
For Donald Trump, it is reprisals in the face of what he sees as the emergence of generative artificial intelligence with an “ideological bias.” An American official said that the “main” ideological bias was, according to the White House, initiatives encouraging the representation and inclusion of minorities (DEI).
Guarantee freedom of expression
Therefore, Donald Trump intends to ban the various services, ministries and agencies of his government to acquire generative AI software that would express this orientation.
According to Michael Kratsios, director of scientific and technological questions in the White House, it is about “ensuring that these systems authorize freedom of expression.”
For this purpose, measures will soon be implemented. Among them, the Review of Management Risk Management linked to the AI of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), a center published in the Government. Objective: “Eliminate references to misinformation, diversity, equity and inclusion, and climate change.”
The White House will update federal directives to ensure that the government only firm contracts with developers of large language models that “guarantee that its systems are objective and free of any ideological bias.”
Win the race in AI
In addition to seeking “ideological biases” of chatbots, the White House Action Plan also aims to promote the development of AI in the United States and the export of American.
“We are involved in a global race to take the lead in AI,” he said, “and we want the United States to win this race.” This action plan comes from a great consultation of professionals, researchers and users, started in February. The US president intends to break the line adopted by his predecessor Joe Biden, a supporter of a controlled boom, with emphasis on safety and apprehension of risks.
Three axes
The White House says it has identified about 90 measures that will be established in music “in the coming weeks and months,” according to a statement. Around three axes are collected, including the one related to the ideological biases of the chatbots.
The first aims to facilitate the construction of new data centers (data centers), essential for the operation of AI and the realization of important energy projects to meet the immense needs of these data centers in electricity. Many data centers are currently under construction in the United States. The Trump government wants to significantly simplify the granting of permits and authorizations for new sites.
The second part refers to “diplomacy,” according to David Sacks’s expression. It implies, among other things, the mobilization of two financial weapons of the United States for International Trade, the American Development and Financing Agency (FDC) and the American Import-Export Bank, to support the exports of the American.
Donald Trump has launched American technology abroad, and AI in particular, priority. Contributed to the discussions that led to the United Arab Emirates to take a contract, in May, with OpenAi, Oracle and Nvidia for the creation of their own AI infrastructure.
