The Trump administration recently published “America’s AI Action Plan”. One of the first policy actions from the document is to eliminate references to misinformation, diversity, equity, inclusion, and climate change from the NIST’s AI Risk Framework.
Lacking any sense of irony, the very next point states LLM developers should ensure their systems are “objective and free from top-down ideological bias”.
Par for the course for Trump and his cronies, but the world should know what kind of AI the US wants to build.
I disagree with that premise, America elected Trump under a democracy in which his view points were clear. He was elected to represent Americans and as such I think it’s fair to use Trump’s wants and America synonymously
No. America did not, and if you’ve been keeping track, he lost the popular vote by a huge margin the first time (which included insane amounts of election interference), and only “won” by 1.6% the second time, and only because of very specific gerrymandering and hoop jumping.
Saying that’s a clear direction for an entire country is fucking insane. Like if I have $0.51 I might as well have a dollar. It’s just an insane argument.
So if you’re in a democracy and he doesn’t represent the american people, what does he represent ?
Apparently you don’t know how a democracy works.
