This marks the first time a U.S. administration has explicitly linked ideological screening of AI models to federal contracts, creating an unprecedented government filter for artificial intelligence development. The combination of dismantling consumer protections while implementing ideological controls represents a novel shift toward centralized control of AI systems.
Trump's AI Plan Targets FTC: Digital Babylon Control System Emerges
📰 What Happened
Former President Trump's White House released a comprehensive AI Action Plan in July 2025 that aims to boost America's AI competitiveness against China. The plan includes deregulating data center construction, withholding funds from states with strict AI laws, and requiring AI models to be 'free from top-down ideological bias.' Notably, the plan targets the Federal Trade Commission's authority to regulate AI companies and protect consumers from AI-related fraud and harm.
📖 Prophetic Significance
The United States, modern Babylon in many prophetic interpretations, is establishing systems of technological control reminiscent of Daniel's vision of the fourth kingdom's 'iron teeth' (Daniel 7:7). The plan's three key elements - deregulated data centers, mandatory ideological screening, and weakened consumer protection - mirror Revelation 13's description of centralized control over commerce and speech. The specific targeting of the FTC's oversight role while expanding federal control over AI content reflects the prophesied consolidation of power in the end times technological system.
