Gavin Kliger has boosted white supremacists and misogynists online.
WASHINGTON, March 7 (Reuters) - The Pentagon on Friday named as Chief Data Officer Gavin Kliger, a computer scientist who aided billionaire Elon Musk’s efforts to overhaul the government last year and who has boosted white supremacists and misogynists online.
Reuters reported last year that Kliger had reposted content from white supremacist Nick Fuentes and self-described misogynist Andrew Tate and made some controversial comments.
Kliger said in an email that he was honored to take on the new role and disputed allegations about his social media posts. “The suggestion that I support ‘bigots,’ ‘extremists,’ or white supremacists is categorically untrue,” he said.
In a social media post, the Pentagon said Kliger’s new role “places him at the center of the Department’s most ambitious AI efforts,” focusing on “day-to-day alignment and execution of the Department’s AI projects, working directly with America’s frontier AI labs to support the warfighter.”
The Pentagon did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for more comment.
