White House Prepares Executive Order Targeting 'Woke AI'

This would be a distaster, and is totally predictable.
JoeOfTexas•6mo ago
Is AI free speech?
amanaplanacanal•6mo ago
Yeah this administration is definitely all-in on free speech. They need to be called out on this shit.

I'm beginning to think that "woke" is code for not racist enough.

outworlder•6mo ago
> I'm beginning to think that "woke" is code for not racist enough.

Or not misogynist enough, or basically anything involving empathy and human decency.

plorkyeran•6mo ago
Beginning?
krapp•6mo ago
Yeah.

I don't want it to be but AI is going to be the mediator of all human communication and access to information and the generator of all cultural expression soon so it kind of has to be. Otherwise "free speech" is just what people say to one another face to face.

alex_suzuki•6mo ago
> the generator of all cultural expression soon

I sincerely hope that is not the case.

khurs•6mo ago
>The order would dictate that AI companies getting federal contracts be politically neutral and unbiased, an effort to combat what administration officials see as overly liberal AI models, the people said.

Scary stuff.

This is why we need LLMs from many different countries. I use Deepseek for any non-China political type question as using a Western One can't be relied upon as a rule.

wepple•6mo ago
At some point (possibly already?), having no federal contracts will be a massive competitive advantage.
mcphage•6mo ago
> politically neutral and unbiased

I wonder what those words will mean this time?

xnx•6mo ago
Trained on the fair and balanced content from Fox News.
mcphage•6mo ago
Fox News as the balance for One America News...
UltraSane•6mo ago
Electing morons has some bad consequences. This would make US LLMs not much better than Chinese ones when it comes to censorship.
mikece•6mo ago
Why doesn't anyone get upset by the fact that the use of Executive Orders has been massively abused by both parties and needs to be reigned in my Congress? It was the intent of the founders that Congress make the laws and The Executive carries them out. An executive order should be limited to how to do what Congress has mandated/authorized, not to effectively rule by edict because Congress passed legislation that allows absurdly wide latitude for The Executive to make orders (or agencies to make regulations).

As for whatever this EO is supposed to be about: Trump can't spell "AI" so I can't take his opinions on this field seriously.

jsbisviewtiful•6mo ago
Because Republicans do not care about the checks and balances of the Constitution. They only care about their own power and not the future for the next generations.
mrkeen•6mo ago
> Why doesn't anyone get upset by the fact that the use of Executive Orders has been massively abused by both parties

Because all you can do in a two-party system is vote in the other EO abuser.

jsbisviewtiful•6mo ago
"Abused by both parties" is not a valid argument. Republican's use of EO are blatantly unconstitutional and they gloat about how it's unconstitutional, whereas usually Democrats' use of EO are deliberately designed to be within the rule of law or at least arguable as to whether or not it's legal. Republicans are pushing through whatever EO they want right now because they have a majority in Congress, which is at a historic level of dysfunction and corruption and will let the executive branch rule like a king.
yakz•6mo ago
I think the answer is probably that life is easy enough. Directly or indirectly, as a lord optimizing for just barely good enough will leave you in power. Until an invader shows up.
CephalopodMD•6mo ago
AI labs already do everything they can to have politically neutral responses. It turns out that when you pre-train on all the content ever produced by humanity and post-train on real people's preferences, the result is extremely liberal. That's been my experience at least. It's a little counterintuitive, and there are definitely corner cases where misaligned AI becomes more conservative, hateful, or authoritarian, but that's the trend overall. I can all but guarantee that every single major AI product out there would be even more liberal with trust and safety interventions turned off.
jacknews•6mo ago
> conservative, hateful ... authoritarian

sums it up nicely

7e•6mo ago
Let’s do the opposite: let’s order the executive to be politically neutral instead. Or would thay fail due to lack of natural intelligence?

Remember when the same people just a few weeks ago wanted to block any state from enforcing any law or regulation affecting "artificial intelligence models," "artificial intelligence systems," or "automated decision systems" for 10 years?

I 'member.
