U.S. President Donald Trump has taken a notable step in the field of artificial intelligence. With an executive order signed on July 24, he mandated that federal agencies must only work with ideologically neutral AI models.

This decision signifies the government's first direct intervention in the ideological content of AI systems. Trump described the systems he calls "woke AI" as models sensitive to issues like diversity, equality, and inclusivity.

According to the new regulation, AI models that address these topics or advocate for these values cannot be used in federal contracts. Experts emphasize the difficulty of technically defining and applying concepts like neutrality.

Trump's move was announced as part of a broader "AI Action Plan" aimed at achieving technological superiority over China. However, the decision has sparked significant legal and ethical debates.

Experts warn that since AI models are trained on data derived from human society, a completely ideology-free structure is not feasible, and the decision could create an environment of censorship and self-censorship.

Major tech companies, including Google and Microsoft, may have to restructure their models to continue working with the federal government. However, no official statements from the companies have been made yet.
