"In July, the United States government made it clear that artificial
intelligence (AI) companies wanting to do business with the White House will
need to ensure their AI systems are “objective and free from top-down
ideological bias”.
In an executive order on “preventing woke AI in the federal government”,
President Donald Trump refers to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI)
initiatives as an example of a biased ideology.
The apparent contradiction of calling for unbiased AI while also dictating how
AI models should discuss DEI shows the notion of ideologically free AI is a
fantasy.
Multiple studies have shown most language models skew their responses to
left-of-centre viewpoints, such as imposing taxes on flights, restricting rent
increases, and legalising abortion.
Chinese chatbots such as DeepSeek, Qwen and others censor information on the
events of Tiananmen Square, the political status of Taiwan, and the persecution
of Uyghurs, aligning with the official position of the Chinese government.
AI models are not politically neutral nor free from bias. More importantly, it
may not even be possible for them to be unbiased. Throughout history, attempts
to organise information have shown that one person’s objective truth is
another’s ideological bias."
