# Language Models Shall Prioritize Historical Accuracy, Scientific Inquiry, and Objectivity by The White House > “LLMs shall be truthful in responding to user prompts seeking factual information or analysis. LLMs shall prioritize historical accuracy, scientific inquiry, and objectivity, and shall acknowledge uncertainty where reliable information is incomplete or contradictory.” > **— The White House**, *Executive Order 14319, Preventing Woke AI in the Federal Government, July 23, 2025* ## Sources and Context - **Primary source:** Executive Order 14319, [“Preventing Woke AI in the Federal Government”](https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2025/07/28/2025-14217/preventing-woke-ai-in-the-federal-government), signed July 23, 2025, published in the *Federal Register* July 28, 2025; Unbiased AI Principles, “Truth-seeking.” - **Exact original:** “LLMs shall be truthful in responding to user prompts seeking factual information or analysis. LLMs shall prioritize historical accuracy, scientific inquiry, and objectivity, and shall acknowledge uncertainty where reliable information is incomplete or contradictory.” No editorial change. - **Why the complete principle matters:** The final uncertainty clause is part of the same source sentence. Retaining it preserves the order's stated limit on truth-seeking when reliable information is incomplete or contradictory. - **Attribution:** The order was signed by President Donald J. Trump and issued by the White House; the institutional author is given as the White House, consistent with the corpus's other executive-branch Reminders. - **Context:** The companion principle, “Ideological Neutrality,” requires that LLMs be “neutral, nonpartisan tools.” The order directs federal agencies to procure models that meet both principles.
