When a government funds an AI model, the issue of its ideological control and manipulation is different than a private AI model, for several reasons:

- It uses tax money from everyone to reinforce views held by a portion of the population

- Governments have an inherent conflict of interest in representing truth (see examples in TFA about Modi in India)

- That AI model might in the future be the "official" source of truth in the country, not just another commercial alternative that has to compete in the market
