Democrat President Joe Biden has just signed an executive order that forces tech companies to program radical Marxist ideology into artificial intelligence (AI). The White House announced the order on Monday, claiming the order seeks to regulate the emerging AI industry. However, buried in the order is a provision that stipulates that AI must help to advance the leftist agenda. The order mandates that AI must be programmed with a foundation based on “equity.” Not to be confused with “equality,” the Left’s “equity” agenda is based on Marxism.
Whereas “equality” teaches that everybody should be treated equally, no matter their race or sex, “equity” asserts that people should be treated differently depending on their skin color, “gender identity,” or mental state. Under the “equity” ideology, for example, a transgender would be given advantages, such as securing a college scholarship or being offered a job, over a normal person. The White House says it will send out guidance to landlords, federal contractors, federal benefits programs, and others to reduce the possibility of racial and other biases in their use of AI. There will also be enforcement of the new laws with prosecutions for those who fail to comply.
The unspoken fear is that AI will be allowed to analyze certain types of data, such as criminal records and credit ratings, which might result in unequal outcomes for certain groups. If AI is used to approve mortgage applications, for example, a person could be more like to get approved if they’re “non-binary” and a racial minority, while a straight white man could struggle.
Advancing Equity and Civil Rights
Irresponsible uses of AI can lead to and deepen discrimination, bias, and other abuses in justice, healthcare, and housing. The Biden-Harris Administration has already taken action by publishing the Blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights and issuing an Executive Order directing agencies to combat algorithmic discrimination, while enforcing existing authorities to protect people’s rights and safety. To ensure that AI advances equity and civil rights, the President directs the following additional actions:
Provide clear guidance to landlords, Federal benefits programs, and federal contractors to keep AI algorithms from being used to exacerbate discrimination.
Address algorithmic discrimination through training, technical assistance, and coordination between the Department of Justice and Federal civil rights offices on best practices for investigating and prosecuting civil rights violations related to AI.
Ensure fairness throughout the criminal justice system by developing best practices on the use of AI in sentencing, parole and probation, pretrial release and detention, risk assessments, surveillance, crime forecasting and predictive policing, and forensic analysis.

Far left ideology. The Marxism of 'equity'. Integral in how AI functions and enforced by the law. Yeah ... easy to see what a mess this is going to be.
I thought that but being an ignorant Scotsman I wasn't sure.

Sorry, but the Prez doesn't have the authority to mandate any such thing via E.O. or any other Executive power.
Of course that won't stop Google and MS from owing down to the pretender in thief and using the EO as an excuse for what they've already done...
Yep you nailed it!!!!!!
