SW News: According to data from a conservative watchdog group, the Joe Biden administration is aggressively attempting to employ artificial intelligence (AI) to promote a woke ideology with Left-wing activists leading the effort. A memo from the American Accountability Foundation (AAF) said that senior US officials are attempting to introduce dangerous ideologies into AI systems, according to Fox News Digital.

AAF president Tom Jones said the Biden administration is trying to rig AI to follow the woke left's rules under the guise of combating 'algorithmic discrimination' and 'harmful bias’.  The report also stated that requests for comment from the White House went unanswered.

"Racially obsessed social academics and activists, not scientists, are advising Biden on technology policy. The greatest internet companies in the world, including Google under Eric Schmidt, have already been observed using their influence to advance the Left wing's goal. The tech/woke alliance would reach a brand-new, very terrifying level as a result,” said Jones.

In its memo, AAF provided numerous instances of what it claimed to be the administration's initiative to make AI more conscious. The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy's "Blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights" is one illustration, which was published in October. The memo urges data collection and warns against algorithmic discrimination in which AI systems treat people differently based on their race, sex, or other attributes.

The National Artificial Intelligence Research and Development Strategic Plan, which calls for more funding to combat harmful biases and cautions that AI systems are prone to 'hallucinate' and recapitulate biases derived from the unfiltered data from the internet used to train them, was released in May.
"Understanding how AI can reduce inequities stemming from systemic, structural, and individual bias is an important area of research," it said.

The AAF paper was released a few days after Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York warned that AI might lead to "supercharged disinformation" and the "amplification of bias." Since the November release of the AI tool ChatGPT, AI has emerged as one of the most talked-about topics.

Elon Musk, the owner of Twitter, for instance, issued a warning about the new technology's potential use as a weapon to advance political goals through misleading information late last year. Musk had tweeted in December, "The danger of educating AI to be woke—that is, to lie—is deadly.”
