The Trump administration is in the middle of finding out that it’s very hard — maybe even impossible — to regulate perceived “wokeness” in artificial intelligence.
The government’s main procurement agency is a year into trying to translate President Donald Trump’s ban on “woke” AI into contracting language, and technology companies are pouring out in opposition to what they’ve come up with.
The General Services Administration has formally proposed requiring companies to adhere to a broad list of “unbiased AI principles” in the systems they sell to the government, including “historical accuracy” and neutrality.
