Under Trump, AI Scientists Are Told to Remove ‘Ideological Bias’ From Powerful Models

Wired  

The National Institute of Standards and Technology has issued new instructions to scientists that partner with the US Artificial Intelligence Safety Institute that eliminate mention of “AI safety,” “responsible AI,” and “AI fairness” in the skills it expects of members and introduces a request to prioritize “reducing ideological bias, to enable human flourishing and economic competitiveness.” The information comes as part of an updated cooperative research and development agreement for AI Safety Institute consortium members, sent in early March. It also adds emphasis on putting America first, asking one working group to develop testing tools “to expand America’s global AI position.” “The Trump administration has removed safety, fairness, misinformation, and responsibility as things it values for AI, which I think speaks for itself,” says one researcher at an organization working with the AI Safety Institute, who asked not to be named for fear of reprisal. “It’s wild,” says another researcher who has worked with the AI Safety Institute in the past. Last February, he posted a meme on X in which Gemini and OpenAI were labeled “racist” and “woke.” He often cites an incident where one of Google’s models debated whether it would be wrong to misgender someone even if it would prevent a nuclear apocalypse—a highly unlikely scenario.
