And again, I tend to think that those scenarios were described by George Orwell, not by James Cameron and the Terminator.

And specifically, it's misuse of AI by government.

I do think that

AI could be used as a tool to surveil, to censor, to even potentially brainwash the population.

This is why the administration has taken such a firm stance against what is called woke AI, which I almost think that that name maybe trivializes the magnitude of the problem we're talking about.

We're talking about AI having a political bias built into it.

And the bias can be so subtle that people don't even necessarily notice over time, but it has a huge impact on what people are allowed to learn and think and know and what children learn.

And so I think it's very important that we try to make sure that AI was politically unbiased.

So they're just in this regard.

One of the things that we were so concerned about with that by an executive order on AI that we were send it in the first week is that I had 20 pages of language on DEI and it was promoting this idea that AI models need to build in a DEI layer.

Well,

you know, this is how you ended up with, you know, the Black George Washington, you know, story where the first version of Gemini came out and it was, you know, it was basically rewriting history to serve a current political agenda of DEI.

And, you know, that was in a way that that case of bias was so ludicrous that everyone kind of laughed at it.

But it gives you a sense of

what could happen if you start to build the bias into AI.

And, you know, that same, you know, so-called trust and safety apparatus that was starting to be built into social media sites as a way to censor and de-platform and shadow ban, you could see that being built into AI models as a way to control the public discourse in a very serious way.

And I think that

President Trump, again, just put a total halt to that, rescinded that.

But it was also, we also, President Trump signed an executive order saying that the federal government would not procure politically biased AI.

So look, on a First Amendment basis, if an AI company wants its AI to be biased in some direction, they probably have a First Amendment right to do that.
