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.

    So do something about it. If you just sit there and post “I don’t want this” on the Internet they’re just going to keep doing it.

      Like what?

      • vote? I already did, three times, and he still won by 20% margin
      • message my reps? They’re all Republicans.
      • protest? That’s only slightly more effective than posting online, and carries the risk of arrest and whatnot
      • attempt an assassination? Yeah right, I’m not getting close w/ the Secret Service, and I’d just leave my kids without one of their parents and income
      • move? All my family and friends live here, and I actually like my country, I just don’t like this admin; and wouldn’t that just concentrate the crazies a bit more?

      There’s not really anything I can reasonably do, other than sit tight and teach my kids how to be excellent people.
