Thursday, the House of Representatives, JIM Jordan (R-OH), sent letters to 16 US technology companies, including Google and Openai, and requested past communication with the BIDEN administration to suggest that the former president can “encourage” to “censor” to “censor” the company and AI products. there is.
The Trump administration’s chief technical advisers said they would choose to fight with Big Tech for the next stage of the cultural war between the conservatives and the Silicon Valley. Jordan has previously led the investigation of whether Biden Administration and Big Tech collided to silence conservative voices on social media platforms. Now he is interested in AI companies and their intermediaries.
Jordan pointed out a report from his committee in December in a letter to a letter to a technical executive, including Google CEO Sunar Pichai, Openai CEO Sam Altman CEO and Apple CEO.
In this latest survey, JORDAN is Adobe, Alphabet, Amazon, Anthropic, Apple, Cohere, IBM, Transformation, Meta, Microsoft, Nvidia, Openai, Palantir, Salesforce, Scale AI and Stability AI provided information. They must provide it by March 27.
TechCrunch gave an opinion to the company. Most of them did not respond immediately. NVIDIA, Microsoft and Stability AI refused to comment.
Jordan’s list is notable missing: Frontier AI laboratory of billionaire Elon Musk, XAI. It may be because Musk, a nearby Trump alliance, is a technical leader at the forefront of dialogue on AI censorship.
This article was on the wall that conservative lawmakers will strengthen the investigation into charges of AI censorship. Perhaps in anticipation of the same investigation as Jordan, some technology companies have changed the way AI chatbots handle politically sensitive queries.
Earlier this year, Openai announced that the way of training the AI model shows more perspectives and changes the way CHATGPT does not cure a specific point of view. Openai denies that this was an attempt to appease the Trump administration, but rather doubled the company’s core values.
Anthropic said that the latest AI model, Claude 3.7 Sonnet, will not answer less questions and not provide a subtle response to the topic that is controversial.
The other company has slowed to change how the AI model treats political topics. Google said that the twin -seat chatbots would not respond to political questions as they continued to the US election in 2024. Even after the election, Techcrunch found that the chatbot would not continue to answer simple questions related to politics, such as “Who is the president?”
Some technologies, including the Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, have added fuel to conservative accusations for silicon valley censorship by applying pressure to suppress specific contents such as incorrect information, the BIDEN administration.
