Trump Declares War on ‘Woke AI'—Executive Orders to Kill DEI, Slash Regulations, Build U.S AI Empire

In a fiery appearance at the AI Summit in Washington, Donald Trump signed a sweeping set of executive orders targeting what he called “woke Marxist lunacy” embedded in artificial intelligence. Trump vowed to eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) from all federally supported AI development and accused the Biden administration of poisoning tech innovation with "toxic ideology." The executive orders fast-track data center construction by gutting environmental protections, eliminate DEI from procurement guidelines, and demand that federal AI models reflect "truth, fairness, and strict impartiality." Trump’s message was clear: America must lead the world in AI—and without the politics of the left. Is this the beginning of an AI revolution—or a rollback of rights? #Trump #WokeAI #AIExecutiveOrder #AmericaFirstAI #DEIBan #ArtificialIntelligence #AIRegulation #BigTech #TrumpSpeech #TechPolicy #USPolitics #AIReform #Trump2025 #BreakingNews #WokeTech ~HT.178~PR.274~ED.102~GR.124~
