This would be a distaster, and is totally predictable.

Is AI free speech?

>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.

Electing morons has some bad consequences. This would make US LLMs not much better than Chinese ones when it comes to censorship.

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.

Can we get rid of woke people too? Insane activists training models gives you 'it's not ok to be white' viewpoints. And behind that push is the usual suspects, every single time.

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.

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?
