“Today, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) sent a letter to Alphabet, Google’s and YouTube’s parent company, demanding documents and communications related to the creation, training, and deployment of its Gemini AI model, an artificial intelligence chatbot technology. The Committee is investigating how and to what extent the Executive Branch has coerced or colluded with Big Tech and other intermediaries to censor Americans’ speech, and this request falls within the scope of the Committee’s subpoena issued on February 15, 2023.”
“Recent reporting asserts that the Executive Branch, most notably the Biden White House, may have influenced the development of Alphabet’s Gemini AI model. On October 30, 2023, President Biden issued an Executive Order on the ‘Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy Development and Use of Artificial Intelligence,’ which claimed to serve as an overarching guide to how the Biden Administration will approach issues like AI development and deployment. The Executive Order states that its guidelines will purportedly ‘advance equity.’ A report by the Alphabet’s Gemini Team stated that its new AI tool was evaluated by external groups, which were selected based on their alignment with the Biden White House Executive Order and ‘White House Commitments,'” says a House Judiciary Committee press release, and holy shit they’re trying to make Google Gemini a campaign issue, lol.
