Preventing Woke AI in the Federal Government – The White House
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered: Section 1. Purpose.

TL;DR
President Trump just signed an Executive Order slamming the “diversity, equity, and inclusion” (DEI) baggage out of any AI tools the federal government buys. He’s worried that ideological agendas—like rewriting history or forcing certain viewpoints—are wrecking AI’s accuracy. So from now on, any large language model (LLM) the feds procure must stick to two golden rules: be truthful (own up to uncertainty) and stay ideologically neutral.
What’s next?
The Office of Management and Budget has 120 days to lay out the playbook, and agencies then get 90 days to bake those unbiased-AI clauses into new and existing LLM contracts (with penalties if vendors don’t comply). National security systems get special carve-outs, and nothing here changes other agencies’ legal powers or funding rules.
