Trump AI Executive Order Secretly Paves Way for Corporate Surveillance State, Skeptics Warn

While the White House touts national security and innovation, independent watchdogs are asking the only question that matters: Who benefits from this? The answer, according to leaked memos, appears to be a closed loop of campaign donors and data-mining startups, leaving the public with fewer privacy rights and more AI-driven oversight—all under the guise of American competitiveness.
