The Trump administration is making a major push to reshape AI in a way that could affect ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and every AI company building the future by trying to ban "woke" AI.
In this episode of Free Speech Friday, TechDirt's Mike Masnick joins me to break down the FTC's proposed AI policy, what it actually says, and how it will pressure AI companies to change their answers, withhold information, give misleading information, and what this battle means for free speech, censorship, AI regulation, and open-weight models.
We discuss:
• Trump's AI Executive Orders
• The FTC's new anti-woke AI policy proposal
• ChatGPT and AI censorship
• Free speech and the First Amendment
• OpenAI vs Grok
• Open-weight AI models
• Government regulation of artificial intelligence
• The future of AI in America
