A recent report by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) that found that the Biden administration is pushing to make artificial intelligence (AI) “woke” and adhere to a “far-left agenda.” The report specifically cites a White House executive order on AI that calls for the development of AI that “advances equity” and “prohibits algorithmic discrimination.”
The GAO report found that the administration's efforts to “wokeify” AI are being implemented through a number of different initiatives, including:
- The creation of a new “Office of AI and Technology Equity” within the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy.
- The funding of research projects that focus on developing AI that is “fair, unbiased, and non-discriminatory.”
- The development of new standards and guidelines for the development and use of AI.
The GAO report also found that the administration's efforts to “wokeify” AI are being met with some resistance from within the government. Some officials have expressed concerns that the administration's focus on equity could lead to the development of AI that is less accurate or efficient.
The GAO report concludes by recommending that the administration provide more clarity on its goals for “woke” AI and that it work to address the concerns of those who are opposed to the administration's approach.
It is important to note that the term “woke” is a subjective one, and there is no single definition of what it means for AI to be “woke.” However, the GAO report suggests that the administration is using the term to refer to AI that is designed to promote certain social and political goals, such as equity, diversity, and inclusion.
The administration's efforts to “wokeify” AI have been met with criticism from some who believe that the government should not be in the business of promoting political agendas through technology. Others have argued that the administration's focus on equity could lead to the development of AI that is less accurate or efficient.

The Biden administration is actively seeking to use artificial intelligence to promote a woke, progressive ideology with left-wing activists leading the effort, according to research from a conservative watchdog group.
The American Accountability Foundation conducted research into the administration's plans for AI and is now warning in a memo that top U.S. officials under President Biden are seeking to inject “dangerous ideologies” into AI systems.
“Under the guise of fighting ‘algorithmic discrimination' and ‘harmful bias,' the Biden administration is trying to rig AI to follow the woke left's rules,” AAF president Tom Jones told Fox News Digital.
“Biden is being advised on technology policy, not by scientists, but by racially obsessed social academics and activists. We're already seen the biggest tech firms in the world, like Google under Eric Schmidt, use their power to push the left's agenda. This would take the tech/woke alliance to a whole new, truly terrifying level.”
