The National Science Foundation's funding of AI censorship tools to counter misinformation online has sparked criticism and calls for policy updates from various sources. Meta, formerly Facebook, is under pressure to change its rules after a fake Joe Biden post surfaced. The Biden administration's allocation of millions for AI research to combat misinformation, and the potential impact on the 2024 elections, has raised concerns about the weaponization of AI for censorship. The House has issued a report and held hearings on the matter, highlighting the deep concerns over the role of AI in restricting freedom of speech and shaping public discourse.
The House just issued a new report. Some of us have previously expressed alarm over the role of universities in this censorship system. A dangerous line is crossed when universities partner with the government and companies to blacklist or censor. https://t.co/KyOqHkcTql

The next time someone complains about a loss of trust in science, show them this House report: The @NSF hid its funding "censorship and propaganda tools..." They blacklisted "media outlets because they were scrutinizing NSF’s [censorship] funding." https://t.co/YSTi1ENkWz https://t.co/V7fa03Jalw
