The Biden Regime Issued an Executive Order ensuring that Artificial Intelligence will spout Marxist Woke Ideology

I have avoided using Artificial Intelligence since it first appeared on the scene a couple years beacuse it has a pronounced leftist bias built into it.  This was done organically by the high tech companies that invented this technology.

The leftist bias built into AI is about to get much worse because of an Executive Order issued by Joe Biden’s handlers: FACT SHEET: President Biden Issues Executive Order on Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence | The White House

Today, President Biden is issuing a landmark Executive Order to ensure that America leads the way in seizing the promise and managing the risks of artificial intelligence (AI). The Executive Order establishes new standards for AI safety and security, protects Americans’ privacy, advances equity and civil rights, stands up for consumers and workers, promotes innovation and competition, advances American leadership around the world, and more.

As part of the Biden-Harris Administration’s comprehensive strategy for responsible innovation, the Executive Order builds on previous actions the President has taken, including work that led to voluntary commitments from 15 leading companies to drive safe, secure, and trustworthy development of AI.

Like all Leftist proposals, this proposal sounds benign on the surface.  It is not until this section that the Marxist nature of this executive order becomes apparent.

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.

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.

Expand bilateral, multilateral, and multistakeholder engagements to collaborate on AI. The State Department, in collaboration, with the Commerce Department will lead an effort to establish robust international frameworks for harnessing AI’s benefits and managing its risks and ensuring safety. In addition, this week, Vice President Harris will speak at the UK Summit on AI Safety, hosted by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.

James Hacker: No Mrs. Rogers it won’t do. Either you must get some patients into this hospital or I shall close it.

Mrs. Rogers: Yes well minster in the course of time…

James Hacker: No no, not in the course of time Mrs. Rogers, now! Get rid of 300 of your people and get some doctors and nurses and get some patents.

Billy Frasier: Now look here without those 300 people this hospital wouldn’t function

James Hacker: You think it’s functioning now?

Mrs. Rogers: Minister, it’s one of the best run hospitals in the country. It’s up for the Florence Nightingale Award.

James Hacker: And what, pray, is that?

Mrs. Rogers: It’s won by the most hygienic hospital in the area.

One of the things that allows people to rob us blind is their misunderstanding of subsidies given to various producers of various items.

As a general rule I think the only things that really deserve subsidy are things that increase our supply of

  • Food
  • Drinking Water
  • Fuel
  • Electricity

The basis for this is that a country that can provide food and water, electricity and fuel without outside help is truly independent because if worst comes to worst the necessities of food and warm shelter are available so the people can survive. And of course such a country can tell any other country or group of countries who want to buffalo them to get lost because anything they would have to do without would be either a luxury or convienence.

This is not the case with electric cars. Consider this bit of info:

The paper estimated that the average cost of EV subsidies, ultimately footed by American taxpayers, were around $8,984 per car. That was thanks to a combination of the well-known $7,500 federal tax credit as well as state subsidies.

‘Our preliminary analysis indicates that states handed out over $646 million in taxpayer subsidies to EV buyers in 2021,’ read the report. ‘Dividing by the 435,320 EVs sold in 2021, the average EV buyer received state credits totaling $1,484.’

Now people think. “Hey I’m getting $8500 for buying this car!” but what’s actually happening is that $8500 is added to the price of the car so it’s going to the manufacturer to offset the costs that are being imposed.

Or think of college. People wonder why the price of college admission has gotten so out of hand. The reason is simple. When you have the federal government giving out free cash to help offset the cost of attending colleges, the colleges increase their prices to absorb as much of those funds as possible.

That’s why you have so many more administrators these days. All those tax dollars are helping to pay for all those people who process said tax dollars. The subsidy is not for you it’s for the people who are to be rewarded, it’s just passing through your hands.

That’s why one should always be wary of governments offering gifts because in the end it’s all about rewarding friends and those friends aren’t you.

Once you understand this, then the rest makes a lot of sense.
