The Trump-Vance Administration is trying to
Increase bias in artificial intelligence platforms
This order calls for the federal government to only use artificial intelligence systems that do not show results contrary to the Trump-Vance ideology.
Preventing Woke AI in the Federal Government
July 23, 2025
The Trump-Vance administration is telling federal agencies to only procure AI systems that are "truth-seeking" and which have "ideological neutrality." AI tools have been shown to reflect (and therefore perpetuate) human racism, sexism, and other biases if developers do not take steps to mitigate those influences. The administration thinks of such mitigations as "woke" and does not want federal workers to use large language models (LLMs) or other AI tools which are designed to try to address and reduce existing biases and inequities. Any AI vendor who wants to obtain a government contract will be required to try to shape their tools according to the Trump-Vance administration's worldview, which could bake inequities into any AI tools used by government workers and make these tools less neutral and truth-seeking than they are now.
