A short-lived agency, reportedly affiliated with Elon Musk, commenced its operations within the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) with the explicit mandate to cancel grants deemed contrary to Donald Trump’s anti-Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) agenda. According to The New York Times, decisions regarding which grants to revoke were not made following careful analysis and deliberation. Instead, these critical determinations were reportedly made using a ChatGPT prompt.
Rather than undertaking a detailed examination of the funded projects, personnel reportedly extracted brief summaries from the internet and subsequently input them directly into the artificial intelligence chatbot.
The specific instruction provided to the AI was straightforward: “Does the following relate at all to D.E.I.? Respond factually in less than 120 characters. Begin with ‘Yes’ or ‘No.’” This automated method produced wide-ranging, and at times peculiar, outcomes.
