Trump Admin Blames Removal of Black and Latino Veteran Content on AI

Following the removal of an article honoring Jackie Robinson’s military service in World War II, Black Medal of Honor recipient Army Maj. Gen. Charles Calvin Rogers, and numerous other pages highlighting contributions by women and minority groups, a spokesperson for the Pentagon blamed the use of artificial intelligence for the accidental takedowns.

“We enforced an aggressive timeline for our DOD services and agencies to comb through a vast array of content, while ensuring that our force remains ready and lethal,” said Sean Parnell, U.S. Assistant to the Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs, when discussing President Donald Trump‘s administration’s efforts to eliminate all content it considers DEI from federal agencies. Parnell admitted that, “Every now and then, because of the realities of AI tools and other software, some important content was incorrectly pulled offline to be reviewed.”
