The House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) has sent letters to Adobe, Alphabet, Amazon, Anthropic PBC, Apple, Cohere, International Business Machines Corp., Inflection AI, Meta, Microsoft, Nvidia, Open AI, Palantir Technologies, Salesforce, Scale AI, and Stability AI seeking all documents and communications with the previous Biden-Harris Administration related to content moderation and suppression as the Committee conducts oversight of how and to what extent the executive branch coerced or colluded with AI companies and other intermediaries to censor lawful speech. This development follows the 118th Congress during which the Committee uncovered (1) “how the Biden-Harris Administration repeatedly pressured online platforms to censor Americans directly and by proxy”; and (2) “the Administration’s efforts to control AI to suppress speech, such as the efforts to push over a dozen AI companies to mitigate so-called “harmful bias” and “algorithmic discrimination” in the development and use of their AI models”.
