AI & Search Engines Marketed as "Not Woke" or Anti-Woke:
1. Tusk Search – Conservative search engine positioned as an alternative to Google, emphasizes uncensored results and right-leaning perspectives.
2. 4Search – Conservative/private search engine, promotes free speech and privacy, marketed as non-woke.
3. Gibiru – Longstanding search engine branding itself as “uncensored search,” often cited as anti-woke.
4. Cocoon – Privacy-focused search engine, marketed as uncensored and non-woke.
5. Brave Search – Privacy-first search engine, sometimes promoted in conservative circles as non-woke, though not explicitly political.
6. NotWoke AI (community projects) – Advocacy and experimental AI projects explicitly branded as “Not Woke AI,” claiming neutrality against DEI and progressive bias.
7. Government “anti-woke AI” initiatives – Federal directives (e.g., Trump-era executive orders and OMB guidance) requiring “neutral, nonpartisan” AI outputs. These are policy frameworks, not consumer-facing products.
Notes:
- Many of these tools use “anti-woke” branding as a political signal rather than true neutrality.
- Removing moderation safeguards can increase exposure to misinformation or unsafe content.
- Privacy-first engines like Brave and Gibiru emphasize privacy as much as ideology.
- The ecosystem is fragmented: mainstream AI tools (Google, Microsoft, OpenAI) dominate, while anti-woke AI is scattered across startups, advocacy sites, and niche communities.
