Trump Executive Order Targets Woke Data in US AI Model Training

What Happened

President Donald Trump signed an executive order directing US tech firms to avoid using so-called woke data when training artificial intelligence systems. The order claims such data introduces political biases or agendas, particularly those promoting progressive or woke perspectives that Trump and his supporters oppose. The new policy requires companies to certify their AI models are trained on datasets reflecting broad American values and not on information deemed discriminatory or unpatriotic. Many in the tech sector are concerned about possible government overreach and increased compliance costs, while supporters argue it will promote fairness and neutrality in AI outcomes.
