Pivot to AI – Apple retrains Siri AI for the Trump anti-’woke’ era David Gerard 11 September 2025 The 2024 guidelines mentioned “intolerance” and “systemic racism” as bad things to flag The 2025 document removes both, instead marking “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” as a “controversial” topic Other “controversial” topics include “elections” and “vaccines”! As it happens, health secretary Robert F. Kennedy is a germ theory denialist. Instead, Kennedy believes the miasma theory of disease, and so he’s trying to shut down all the vaccines he can. [The Week] Apple changed its training a few months before the executive order on “woke” — but Tim Cook of Apple is effusively willing to bow to Trump, and this change by Apple did attempt to anticipate the administration’s ideas. [Wired] Transperfect, Apple’s subcontractor, told Politico “these claims are completely false, and we deny them in the strongest possible terms” — though they didn’t say which claims, and Politico has the documents. Apple told Politico, “Claims that we’ve shifted this approach or policy are completely false” — despite, again, the documents. Apple hopes it can release the new Siri chatbot in 2026. You can look forward to Siri telling you all about why you need a bit more racism in your life, and why your kids dying of measles is your proud and patriotic duty. It’s your own fault, you should have balanced their humours better.
