House Judicial Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) on Thursday Letters sent to 16 US technology companiesincluding Google and Openai, requested past communication with Biden Administration, which could suggest that the former president “force or collude” with companies to “review legal speeches” in AI products.
Trump administration Top tech consultant has previously said it will fight against large technologies “AI censorship system”this seems to be the next stage of the cultural war between the conservatives and the Silicon Valley. Jordan’s previous investigation Is the Biden administration and big technology conspiring to silence conservative voices Social media platform. Now, he turns his attention to AI companies and their intermediaries.
In a letter to the technical supervisor Report His committee, published in December, claimed “revealing the Biden-Harris administration’s efforts to control AI’s suppression of speeches.”
In the latest inquiry, Jordan asked Adobe, Amphabet, Amazon, Anthropic, Apple, Cohere, IBM, IBM, Inflection Point, Meta, Microsoft, Nvidia, Nvidia, Openai, Palantir, Salesforce, Salesforce, Salesforce, Scaile AI and Stability AI and Stability AI. They must provide it by March 27.
TechCrunch extended a discussion with the company. Most people didn’t respond immediately. Nvidia, Microsoft and Stability AI declined to comment.
There is a notable omission in Jordan’s list: Billionaire Elon Musk’s border AI lab Xai. That could be because Musk is a close Trump ally and a tech leader At the forefront of dialogue on AI censorship.
The text is on the wall, and conservative lawmakers will review the so-called AI censorship system. Perhaps in order to conduct investigations such as Jordan, several tech companies have changed the way their AI chatbots handle politically sensitive queries.
Earlier this year Openai announces that it is changing the way AI models are trained To express more points and make sure Chatgpt does not censor certain points. Openai denied that it was an attempt to appease the Trump administration, but rather an effort to double the company’s core values.
In terms of anthropomorphism, humans say its latest AI model, Claude 3.7 sonnet, will refuse to answer fewer questions, and Give more subtle reactions on controversial topics.
Other companies have changed the way their AI models deal with political topics slower. Before the 2024 U.S. election, Google said its Gemini chatbot would not respond to political questions. Even after the election, TechCrunch found Chatbots won’t even always answer simple questions about politicsfor example, “Who is the current president?”
Some technical executives, including FW CEO Mark Zuckerberg Claims that the Biden administration puts pressure on them to curb certain content, such as the misinformation of COVID-19.
