Pushing for “neutral” AI without clear definitions or proven methods isn’t just bad policy — it’s bad engineering. The Trump Admin’s Anti-Woke AI plan risks breaking what works in AI while chasing a political mirage. CDT @aawinecoff's analysis ➡️

CDT’s Reeve Givens: “Now, the courts are giving this administration the greenlight to continue playing fast and loose with all of our most sensitive information.”

CDT’s Alexandra Reeve Givens: “These events are part of a disturbing effort by the federal government to amass information about people and overturn longstanding privacy norms under the guise of fighting fraud, waste, and abuse.”

CDT’s Jake Lapperruque unpacks the history of this law, the conflicting rules in different jurisdictions, and the problem with the border search exception.

NEW BLOG: The government could copy every email, photo, and document on your phone at the border—without a warrant. Why? Because different appellate courts have issued conflicting rules on what the Fourth Amendment allows.
