Adopted in October 2023, this presidential text aimed to "protect Americans from the potential risks of AI systems" by requiring, under the supervision of federal agencies, software manufacturers to conduct tests to ensure that they are "safe, secure and trustworthy," to avoid breaches of national security, cyber-attacks, but also manipulation or algorithmic bias and discrimination.
'Left-wing prejudices'
At a recent hearing on AI and privacy, Senator J. D. Vance, Trump's vice presidential pick, extended this hostility to AI regulation: "Very often CEOs, especially of larger technology companies that I think already have advantageous positions in AI will come and talk about the terrible safety dangers of this new technology and how Congress needs to jump up and regulate as quickly as possible. And I can't help but worry that if we do something under duress from the current incumbents, it's going to be to the advantage of those incumbents and not to the advantage of the American consumer."
On X, he added that, in his opinion, "a partisan group of crazy people use AI to infect every part of the information economy with left-wing bias." This argument is reminiscent of Trump's criticism of social media and joins Elon Musk's attacks on OpenAI or Google, accused of censoring free speech through moderation measures put in place to prevent their chatbots from broadcasting discriminatory responses or hate speech. The Tesla and X boss, now a Trump supporter and generous donor, launched GrokAI with the idea of it being, in contrast, an "anti-woke" chatbot.
