Trump orders AI to avoid "woke" content

President Trump's executive order requires AI vendors selling to the government to prove their chatbots are not "woke." The order aims to counter China's AI dominance by embedding American values, but it's the first time the U.S. government has explicitly tried to shape AI's ideological behavior, potentially forcing companies to abandon bias mitigation efforts. This directive, which faces a study period before implementation, has drawn comparisons to China's state-controlled AI and raises concerns about government leverage over tech companies' self-censorship.
