Biden Admin Grants $550K to Develop AI that Detects Online ‘Microaggressions’

(Jacob Bruns, Headline USA) President Joe Biden and his administration are set to dole out massive grants bribing private companies to develop artificial intelligence that is made to detect internet microaggressions.

The grant, which totals nearly $700,000, will specifically target microaggressions used on social media accounts, the Washington Free Beacon reported. The financing was tucked in Biden’s $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan, and was specifically given to the University of Washington to develop technology that will prevent discrimination, apparently as deemed by regime authorities.

The research university has already received $132,000, and has over $550,000 remaining. They are using the funding to uncover implicit bias and warn people of their own impieties, especially in respect to any group deemed as discriminated against.

According to reports from the University, microaggressions are often unconscious or unintentional.

Computer science professor Yulia Tsvetkov, the director of the program, previously published a study titled “Finding Microaggressions in the Wild,” wherein he categorized microaggressions as “differences in treatment are due to one’s merit.”

The grant, however, is not without opponents. Dan Scheider, vice president of the watchdog group Media Research Center’s free speech division, said that such action constitutes yet another overreach.

“It’s not the role of government to police speech that some might find either offensive or emotionally draining. Government is supposed to be protecting our rights, not suppressing our rights.”

The financing was revealed as the Biden administration has come under increasing scrutiny that it is actively working to suppress free speech in America, especially by way of censorship on social media.

Just last month Biden mused about investigating Twitter CEO Elon Musk for allegedly working with foreign nations to infiltrate American media.

“I think that Elon Musk’s cooperation and/or technical relationships with other countries is worthy of being looked at, whether or not he is doing anything inappropriate,” Biden said at the time. “I’m not suggesting that. I’m suggesting that it’s worth being looked at.”
