American Democracy disclosure In the hands of President Trump and his competent Congress and the Supreme Court, millions of Americans are desperate to identify the millions of American country’s dynasty to slow down in fascism.
The result of 2026 Midatories is unlikely to produce meaningful changes, even if the Democrats take control of the House. Without the cooperative Senate, it would be impossible to pass a law or secure a punishment on allegations of impeachment. The hearing of the oversite can attract public attention to things like large -scale corruption, but the threats that Trump has created for the rule of law and democracy is already famous. The courts can only do this.
However, there is another emerging tool: artificial intelligence.
Trump understands the transformational power of AI. Last month, the administration made a “announcement”AI action plan“” AI to win the race. “Between other measures, it promises to remove a federal rules that obstruct AI development and deployment, and seek private sector inputs on rules for removal.”
As part of this initiative, General service administration And Openai Announced Earlier this month that the company will provide the “Federal Federal Work for the entire American federal work” under the “first partnership”. “Participated agencies will pay a nominal cost of each $ 1 for the first year, enabling federal employees to” detect and benefit “AI. The company is forming a team with experienced partners Salalom and Boston Consulting Group to support safe, responsible deployment and training.” Last week, AI Company AIS Announced This made the same deal with GSA to enable the federal agencies to reach their cloud model.
The attempt of the Trump administration to streamline the federal government with the AI model makes some sense. Research Showed that liberal AI – especially Big language modelThose who consume large amounts of data to understand and generate natural language materials – can increase government efficiency in data processing, analysis and draft between other possible benefits.
But the AI systems also increase the risk of extensive government monitoring, personal misinformation and disintegration, systematic discrimination, lack of accountability and inaccuracy. according to a Recently academic paper“Although several studies have discovered the moral implications of AI, the lower has completely investigated its democratic implications.”
Trump’s alliance with Openai’s head Sam Altman went back to the beginning of his second term, when he announced $ 500 billion joint venture To manufacture 20 large AI data centers with Openai, Oracle and Softbank. Trump called the enterprise “Stargate”. Is the deal Details are markiWhich will have access to Stargate and how it will probably benefit taxpayers. Although a spokes for Openai Fox News told Digital “Sam Altman put a flag on Democratic AI vs Autocratic AI,” let’s not forget that Altman is not a government official or employee.
As a legal case, it is not clear whether it “Keep an eye on“The deals will fully comply with traditional inspection and procurement laws and procedures. No major AI company is currently approved. Federal risk and authority management programFor example, which is the process of authorizing the use of cloud technologies by federal agencies. According to GSA WebsiteThe purpose of the program is to ensure “safety and protection of federal information” by implementing strict cyber security controls to protect from data violations, hacking and unauthorized access, and require ongoing monitoring and reporting.
Given that GSA is Allegedly Possible threats are important for national security and personal information of private citizens on “developing a separate authority” for general AI systems such as Chatgpt and Cloud. The lack of transparency of the Trump administration is also at risk of forming a black-box government run by the ownership algorithms, which cannot inspect the public-centralizing the control over federal AI in two companies, whose interests clearly lie in the market dominance, not the public.
This is the reason why such decisions are made in the best form through established legal processes – in which the Federal Competition in the Contract Act (fair and open competition is required), 1974’s privacy act (how to collect personal data and how to collect personal data), Federal Records Act (requirement of proper retention and collection of public records) and Administrative Procedure Act).
For now, Openai has promised that its goal is to ensure that agencies can use AI safely and responsibly. The CHATGPT Enterprise does not already use professional data including input or output to train or improve the Openai model. The same safety measures will apply to federal use. ” This promise of Altman’s company is no option for the real legal standards implemented by the federal government.
Can Embedd AI tool in federal government systems be used one day to choose to choose in favor of Trump and their chronies are an important question. For now, it is clear that Democrats need to come in the AI game, and fast.
A democratic political action committee said National democratic training committee Recently unveiled Online course “AI for progressive campaigns”, which Is designed To teach candidates how to use AI to help create social media content, draft speeches, craft voters outreach messaging and phone-banking scripts, do research in their constituencies and opponents, and develop internal training materials. The group’s founder and CEO, Kelly Ditrich, said that “thousands of Democratic expeditions can now take advantage of AI to compete on any scale.”
This attempt, although admirable, is not enough to capitalize on AI’s ability to help outmanuver powerism in the US, and much more can be done, including using AI to educate citizens on the benefits of democracy, how institutions work and the facts underwent on important issues; Around divisive issues, to create moderate public discussions and consensus; To manipulate the media to detect and consume public, thus promoting misinformation and disintegration and public belief in Trump’s option; And to create and implement effective messaging strategies for alternative vision for the future of the country.
AI can be the best friend of American voters, not their enemies. It just needs to be asked.
