TL;DR

Trump’s new AI action plan promises “bias-free” models for federal use—but the fine print reveals it wants AI to toe his line on “truth,” axing any talk of climate change, DEI or “misinformation.” Under the guise of protecting free speech, the order pressures developers to ditch “woke Marxist lunacy” and adopt the White House’s version of reality.

Why it matters

It’s a classic bait-and-switch: an anti-bias mandate that actually codifies top-down ideological bias through procurement power. Big AI players like Google, OpenAI and Anthropic have mostly shrugged, lured by the plan’s pro-industry goodies—despite potential First Amendment fights over whether the feds can punish models for daring to mention climate science or call out racial bias.
