Missouri AG Andrew Bailey is going after artificial intelligence companies for ranking Trump poorly on antisemitism. But just last week, Trump called bankers “shylocks.”

Overview

  • On July 10, Bailey sent formal demand letters under the Missouri Merchandising Practices Act to Google, Microsoft, OpenAI and Meta requiring internal AI records by July 23.
  • He alleged the chatbots provided biased and factually inaccurate rankings by placing President Trump last on antisemitism among the last five presidents.
  • The letters request detailed documentation on how the companies select inputs, train algorithms and design model architectures.
  • Bailey warned that deceptive AI outputs could void federal safe-harbor immunity for platforms hosting third-party content.
  • Tech firms now face the choice of complying with the inquiry or mounting legal challenges as state scrutiny of AI transparency intensifies.
