> I won't be surprised if one of Trump's goals isn't so much to make AI safer as it is to ensure that the answers AI gives are the ones he and his regime want people to see. Today, for example, when I asked a variety of chatbots who lost the 2020 election, they all agreed Trump had lost. Funnily enough, when the Senate Judiciary Committee asked numerous Trump nominees for federal judgeships the same question, they universally refused to say he lost.
It wasn't clear to me from the article if this was a Trump directive/mood swing, or if Kevin Hassett is freelancing. In this administration, it's important to understand who's actually doing the current thing.
