ChatGPT replied no. A slightly less worrying example from Musk was a comparison of how Google’s Gemini, ChatGPT and Anthropic’s Claude answered a question about whether the US was built on “stolen land.” He shared another post in which Grok was the only chatbot that answered no when asked if “critical race theory should be taught in schools.” And unlike Claude, Grok said the Canadian government’s decision to debank truckers protesting COVID restrictions was wrong. Google Gemini’s AI-generated depiction of a black man among the Founding Fathers. Google Gemini “This is why Grok must win,” tweeted Musk. “. . . or we will be ruled by an insufferably woke and sanctimonious AI.” But the fate of the planet should not rest on one man. Needing to focus The Trump administration campaigned on eradicating Big Tech censorship of conservatives, but it’s a huge octopus-armed problem which needs big brain focus from the White House. While OpenAI’s Sam Altman, Apple’s Tim Cook and Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg suck up to the president and haunt the White House, and are responsive to occasional complaints from administration officials, as soon as Democrats are back in charge the three will revert to their previous evil ways. It’s not because they’re necessarily leftists (though most of their employees are, judging by their campaign donations) but because it’s the line of least resistance. Another AI-generated image showing George Washington as a black man is just another example of how woke AI can spread. Google Gemini On the plus side, President Trump last summer issued an executive order, titled “Preventing Woke AI in the Federal Government,” that says federal contracts will only go to AI companies whose models are “truth-seeking” and committed to “ideological neutrality,” not ones that incorporate destructive leftist concepts such as “critical race theory, transgenderism, unconscious bias, intersectionality and systemic racism.” Trump declared people don’t want “woke Marxist lunacy” in AI models. Probing the bias He deputized as his AI czar ­David Sacks, the MAGA-friendly venture capitalist and Musk pal with a role to investigate the bias problem and formulate the executive order to prioritize neutral and fact-based AI models. But it hasn’t quite worked that way. One example is the $200 million contract Anthropic signed with the Pentagon last summer despite embedding values in its software that are at odds with Secretary of War Pete Hegseth’s vow that the “Department of War AI will not be woke.” In a speech with Musk at Space X last month to announce an accelerated AI strategy, Hegseth said: “We’re building war-ready weapons and systems, not chatbots for an Ivy League faculty lounge . . . Every week, Post columnist Miranda Devine sits down for exclusive and candid conversations with the most influential disruptors in Washington on ‘Pod Force One.’ Subscribe here! “Gone are the days of equitable AI and other DEI and social justice infusions.” Instead the Pentagon will only use “objectively truthful AI . . . factually accurate, mission-relevant, without ideological constraints that limit lawful military applications.” But Anthropic proudly declares it has infused lefty values from critical race theory and the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights into Claude. Anthropic’s founder, 42-year-old San Francisco vegetarian Dario Amodei, supported Kamala Harris in the 2024 election, likened Trump to a “feudal warlord” and has hired several former Biden administration officials. In a slide presentation to industry colleagues, he reportedly once compared Trump to dictators Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin. Sacks has characterized Anthropic as “committed leftists. They’re Trump haters.” Get Miranda’s latest take
