Trump has signed an executive order banning “woke AI” and any AI tools with ideological bias, especially those promoting DEI values, from receiving federal contracts. The order demands AI must be “ideologically neutral” and “truth-seeking,” but experts warn it could pressure companies to align with political agendas. Elon Musk’s xAI, which promotes “anti-woke” views, may benefit most from the move. Critics argue the order enforces viewpoint discrimination and ignores the reality that true objectivity in AI is nearly impossible, especially when facts themselves are politicized in today’s polarized environment.
