“‘Missourians deserve the truth, not AI-generated propaganda masquerading as fact,’ said Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey. That’s why he’s investigating prominent artificial intelligence companies for … failing to spread pro-Trump propaganda? Under the guise of fighting ‘big tech censorship’ and ‘fake news,’ Bailey is harassing Google, Meta, Microsoft, and OpenAI. Last week, Bailey’s office sent each company a formal demand letter seeking ‘information on whether these AI chatbots were trained to distort historical facts and produce biased results while advertising themselves to be neutral.’ And what, you might wonder, led Bailey to suspect such shenanigans? Chatbots don’t rank President Donald Trump on top.” (07/14/25)
