Billionaire Elon Musk and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman are engaged in a heated battle over how much access the public should have to the technology behind artificial intelligence, or AI. However, the most influential player in this space is not Musk or Altman. A careful fingerprint search reveals that it is none other than the President of the United States himself, Joe Biden.
The technologies that keep AI running are the source codes. These are algorithms that make up the majority of AI programs. For example, if bias is programmed into that code to suppress what those in power believe is misinformation about everything from COVID-19 to the 2024 election, you can be sure that AI programs will produce even more biased results down the road. The content AI, designed to be displayed to every user, can then change people's political opinions and even votes.
Musk and Altman joined the group that founded OpenAI out of concern about what Google intended with its “closed” or secret system. As the name “OpenAI” suggests, Musk and Altman wanted to make their source code “public” to the public so that anyone could use, examine, and modify it to their hearts’ content. A huge victory for free speech. They still believe that this approach offers the best protection for humanity from bias and censorship.

With the battle lines so clearly drawn, one might have expected Biden to address this issue head-on in his latest executive order on AI. But nowhere in the extensive document do the terms “source code”, “open source” or “closed source” appear.

Still, the White House order revealed the Biden administration's intention to keep AI source codes secret from the public, a major loss for free speech. The order is effectively a joke order, giving the Commerce Secretary 270 days to even speak to the public.

Biden's order gives closed-source companies room to practice their dark arts without anyone having the opportunity to question or investigate their practices; all to Biden's political advantage.
Biden's record of using the federal government to silence his political opposition is legendary. This also applies to Big Tech. The U.S. Supreme Court will soon decide whether the Biden administration must stop forcing Big Tech companies to censor conservatives.

Similarly, the U.S. House of Representatives eliminated funding for a Biden initiative at the Department of Homeland Security that funneled counterterrorism dollars to organizations that work to silence Christian, conservative and Republican organizations, such as the Christian Broadcasting Network, the Prager University and The Heritage Foundation and the Republican National Committee.
With the battle lines so clearly drawn, one might have expected Biden to address this issue head-on in his latest executive order on AI. But nowhere in the extensive document do the terms “source code”, “open source” or “closed source” appear.
As the Media Research Center found, Big Tech suppressed all of Joe Biden's opponents in 2024, most notably Google, and buried campaign websites. Previous MRC investigations revealed how Google buried the campaign websites of most Republican Senate candidates in the 2022 midterm elections.
Imagine augmenting these efforts with the power of artificial intelligence.

AI can be the fuel that triggers the largest economic boom in world history. It may also be the best campaign tool the left has ever imagined. We must figure out how to reach the First without endangering our Republic.
Democratizing AI is critical to both goals, but that cannot be achieved if Biden and his allies get their way.
