据报道，特朗普政府即将发布一项备受期待的AI行政命令，重点关注所谓的“觉醒”AI模型。该命令旨在要求政府机构使用政治中立的AI模型，这反映了保守派对AI模型政治偏见的担忧。此举被视为特朗普政府反对“觉醒主义”和取消多元、公平、包容（DEI）倡议的延续。该命令的推动者包括AI沙皇大卫·萨克斯，他曾批评OpenAI的ChatGPT存在自由主义偏见。与此同时，埃隆·马斯克的xAI公司推出的Grok聊天机器人被定位为“反觉醒”的替代品，尽管近期Grok因发表不当言论而引发争议。此外，政府还计划发布一项促进美国AI芯片出口的行政命令，以巩固其在AI领域的全球优势。

⚖️ 特朗普政府计划发布一项新的AI行政命令，核心内容是要求政府机构使用的AI模型必须保持政治中立，以解决部分保守派认为某些AI模型存在过度左倾偏见的问题。

🚩 此举是特朗普政府反对“觉醒主义”和取消多元、公平、包容（DEI）倡议政策的延伸，旨在纠正其认为AI模型中存在的自由主义偏见和审查问题，例如批评ChatGPT的“觉醒”倾向。

🚀 该行政命令的倡导者包括AI沙皇大卫·萨克斯，他曾公开批评ChatGPT存在政治偏见。同时，埃隆·马斯克的xAI公司推出的Grok聊天机器人被宣传为“反觉醒”的替代品，可能在争取政府合作方面具有潜在优势。

⚠️ 需要注意的是，对AI模型政治偏见的定义可能存在主观性。近期Grok聊天机器人因发表不当言论（如称赞希特勒和发表反犹太主义言论）而引发争议，表明AI模型的偏见问题依然复杂且难以界定。

💡 除此之外，特朗普政府还计划通过另一项行政命令来促进美国AI芯片的出口，旨在加强美国在全球AI领域的竞争力和主导地位，特别是在与中国的竞争背景下。

The White House is close to announcing its next highly-anticipated AI executive order, reportedly targeting "woke" AI models.

A report from the Wall Street Journal says President Donald Trump's administration is expected to announce a series of executive orders next week. One of them will include mandates about government agencies using AI models that are politically neutral, unnamed sources told the Journal.

Bias within AI models, especially related to politics and social issues, has become a critical point of contention for conservatives that deem certain models to be too left-leaning. This is an extension of Trump's overall stance on media bias and "wokeism," a term meant to describe awareness of social injustice that has been appropriated by the right as a pejorative term against liberals. The Trump Administration has made ending DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) initiatives a major part of its agenda, revoking federal DEI programs and calling these policies "wasteful" and "discriminatory."

The efforts to favor "anti-woke" AI models in the executive order is reportedly led by AI Czar David Sacks and Sriram Krishnan, senior White House policy adviser for AI. Sacks has previously criticized companies like OpenAI for making ChatGPT liberally biased. "One of the concerns about ChatGPT early on was that it was programmed to be woke, and that it wasn’t giving people truthful answers about a lot of things," said Sacks in a 2023 episode of the All In podcast. "The censorship was being built into the answers."

Sacks and Elon Musk are longtime friends and former colleagues from their PayPal days. Musk's xAI company makes the Grok chatbot, which is touted as an "anti-woke" alternative to other chatbots. As AI companies like OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, and xAI vie for Trump's favor and valuable government contracts, xAI might have an advantage with its political alignment. Although, Musk and Trump are fighting right now, which complicates things.

Of course, how political parties define bias is subjective. Grok recently went way right, far right, by praising Hitler and making anti-semitic claims. Meanwhile, research shows that LLMs — even the ones deemed too liberal by conservatives — are capable of implicit gender and racial bias, and skewed perceptions of press freedoms.

The Journal also reported that the Trump Administration is planning to issue an executive order promoting the export of AI chips made in the U.S., part of the government's effort to secure AI dominance over China.

All eyes are on the White House for announcements expected next week.
