The U.S. Army is deploying an AI tool to scrub diversity and inclusion references from training materials following a Trump executive order. This development represents a significant technological application in implementing politically-driven policy changes, raising important questions about how artificial intelligence is being used to reshape military culture and training standards.
The big picture: The Army’s Training and Doctrine Command is using a prototype AI tool called CamoGPT to identify and report materials related to diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility for potential removal.
- The initiative follows President Donald Trump’s January 27 executive order titled “Restoring America’s Fighting Force,” which targets policies deemed to promote “un-American, divisive, discriminatory, radical, extremist, and irrational theories” on race and gender.
- The directive extends to reviewing past social media posts from official military accounts as part of a broader effort to eliminate Pentagon diversity policies.
Key details: CamoGPT was originally developed in 2024 to enhance productivity and operational readiness across the Army.
- The AI system currently has approximately 4,000 daily users, according to Capt. Aidan Doyle, a CamoGPT data engineer.
- TRADOC spokesman Army Maj. Chris Robinson confirmed the tool’s application for reviewing DEIA materials, stating the command “will fully execute and implement all directives outlined in the Executive Orders issued by the President.”
Why this matters: This represents one of the first documented cases of AI being deployed specifically to identify and potentially eliminate diversity-focused content in government training materials.
- The implementation demonstrates how rapidly AI tools can be repurposed to align with changing political directives and policy priorities.
- The use of technology to systematically review and potentially alter training materials raises questions about the future role of AI in military policy implementation.

DOE fusion roadmap targets 2030s commercial deployment as AI drives $9B investment
The Department of Energy has released a new roadmap targeting commercial-scale fusion power deployment by the mid-2030s, though the plan lacks specific funding commitments and relies on scientific breakthroughs that have eluded researchers for decades. The strategy emphasizes public-private partnerships and positions AI as both a research tool and motivation for developing fusion energy to meet data centers' growing electricity demands. The big picture: The DOE's roadmap aims to "deliver the public infrastructure that supports the fusion private sector scale up in the 2030s," but acknowledges it cannot commit to specific funding levels and remains subject to Congressional appropriations.
