When Joe Biden was elected president almost four years ago, it means that the U.S. was in for a period of radical leftist ideology. Unfortunately, his term coincided with the leap in artificial intelligence (AI), and he implemented an executive order to set the stage for government control.
Biden believes that Washington should have the ability to manipulate AI in ways the government for years was unable to do with the internet. And his White House is far more worried about “equity” than any danger posed by AI.
Last October, Biden expanded the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Part of this growth was naming “Effective Altruism” proponent Paul Christiano as the head of AI safety.
Backers of this philosophy are championed by none other than the disgraced Sam Bankman-Fried. They are convinced that there is a 50-50 chance that AI will destroy humanity.
The movement’s prominent backers include Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskowitz, who spent $50 million to get Biden elected. He and his wife Cari spearhead Open Philanthropy, which is linked to Effective Altruism and is spending lavish sums to support government control of AI.

There is interesting wording in the president’s Executive Order on Safe, Secure and Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence. Biden’s directive used a familiar document to declare that AI may “advance civil rights, civil liberties, equity and justice for all.”
Even more impressive is the wide array of fields that the White House believes AI will benefit.
They include global warming, opioid detection, healthcare, education, financial services, reducing prescription costs, housing, equal opportunity, curtailing justice discrimination and bias, advancing racial equity, labor standards, job displacement and a host of others.
Now consider that the administration seeks complete government control over AI. The same AI that will permeate, in its judgment, all of these fields and more.
Many conservatives are worried that the federal government will dictate restraints on such an innovative technology. They see the same handprints that weaponized federal agencies against ideological opponents manipulating the next major advancement.
If the Biden administration is successful in getting its grip on AI, it will mean a future in which Democrats will succeed in the type of control they attempted to exert over social media.
And if the White House is to be believed, AI’s tentacles will be much more far-reaching.
