White House AI Race: āNo Woke Algorithms, Just Market Shareā
At Axios' AI+ Summit, White House AI envoy Sriram Krishnan, who surprisingly serves President Trump in 2025, announced America needs a 'metric for winning' the AI Cold War with Chinaāspoiler: itās market share, not who builds Skynet first. Trump proclaimed back in July America will do 'whatever it takes' to dominate AI, while Michael Kratsios is busy snipping government red tape like a toddler on a glue stick. In an executive order straight out of 1984 meets Silicon Valley, 'woke' AI gets the cold shoulder on federal funds, aiming instead for transparency and 'truth-seeking'āwhich apparently means no ideological thumbs on the scale. Because when it comes to AI, nothing says neutrality like banning woke bots, yet urging the bots not to pick sides in 2025ās political Hunger Games.
