Trump administration The best technology consultant previously indicated that he will choose a battle with Big Tech to “Control of Artificial Intelligence“It seems” the next stage in the cultural war between the conservatives and the Silicon Valley. Jordan previously led an investigation To whether the Biden administration and the large technology colluded to silence the sounds of maintaining Social media platforms. Now, he turns his attention to artificial intelligence companies – and their brokers.
In letters to technology executives, including Google Sundar Pichai, CEO of Openai Sam Altman, CEO of Apple Tim Cook, Jordan referred to A. a report His committee published in December that he claimed “the efforts of the Biden Harris administration to control the artificial intelligence of the speech.”
In this last inquiry, Jordan asked from Adobe, Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Apple, Cohere, IBM, IBM, Meta, Microsoft, Nvidia, Openai, Palantir, Salesforce, Scale AI, and Stability AI to get information. They have until March 27 to present it.
Techcrunch arrived at companies to comment. Most of them did not respond immediately. NVIDIA, Microsoft and Sustive AI refused to comment.
There is one noticeable neglect in the Jordan list: the billionaire Ilon Musk Laboratory from AI LAB, XAI. It might be because Musk, Trump’s ally, is close, is a technical leader At the forefront of talks on artificial intelligence control.
Writing on the wall was that conservative legislators would increase the scrutiny of alleged artificial intelligence control. Perhaps in anticipation of an investigation, such as Jordan, many technology companies have changed the ways it deals with Amnesty International for their sensitive inquiries.
Earlier this year, Openai announced that it was changing the way in which artificial intelligence models are trained To represent more perspectives and make sure that Chatgpt does not control certain views. Openai denies that this is an attempt to satisfy the Trump administration, but instead, an attempt to double the company’s basic values.

Even after the elections, Techcrunch found it Chatbot will not be constantly answering even simple policy questionsLike “Who is the current president?”
Some technological executives, including the CEO of Meta Mark Zuckerberg, added fuel to the conservative accusations of Silicon Valley control by Claim that the Biden administration pressed them to suppress a specific content, such as the wrong information Covid-19.
