PANews reported on March 14 that, according to Golden Ten News, Jordan, the chairman of the U.S. House Judiciary Committee, has demanded that Apple (AAPL.O), Microsoft (MSFT.O), and more than a dozen other tech companies provide information about their work in artificial intelligence and whether they are colluding with the Biden administration to censor free speech. In a letter to the executives of these companies on Thursday, the committee is drafting legislation to protect the civil liberties of Americans from being violated by the progress of artificial intelligence technology, and lawmakers need to "fully understand" the "nature and extent" of what he calls the "censorship work" under President Biden's leadership. In the letter to Apple CEO Tim Cook, Jordan said: "Therefore, we are writing to request documents and information regarding the nature and extent of your company's interactions with the executive branch regarding the content moderation of AI models." This statement was echoed in the letters sent to other executives. Jordan's move marks an escalation of his actions against the restrictions on the speech of right-wing individuals and groups by the previous administration and foreign governments.
