Preventing Woke AI in the Federal Government
President Trump issued an executive order mandating that federal agencies procure only unbiased large language models (LLMs) in accordance with two core principles: Truth-seeking, which prioritizes historical accuracy, scientific inquiry, and objectivity; and Ideological Neutrality, requiring LLMs to be neutral and nonpartisan, avoiding manipulation based on ideological agendas like Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI).
The order directs the Office of Management and Budget to issue implementation guidance within 120 days and requires federal contracts to adhere to these principles, along with provisions for vendor accountability for noncompliance.
Exceptions are allowed for national security uses of LLMs.

The proclamation cites potential negative economic and national security consequences of immediate compliance with the new rule.
Regulatory Relief for Certain Stationary Sources to Promote American Chemical Manufacturing Security
President Trump issued a proclamation granting a two-year exemption from specific Clean Air Act regulations for listed chemical manufacturing facilities.
