Summary
This executive order directs federal agencies to procure only large language models (LLMs) that adhere to "Unbiased AI Principles" of truth-seeking and ideological neutrality. It requires agencies to avoid AI systems that the order characterizes as incorporating diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) ideologies, and mandates the Office of Management and Budget issue implementation guidance within 120 days.
Key Points
- 1Establishes two "Unbiased AI Principles" for federal AI procurement: truth-seeking (prioritizing accuracy and objectivity) and ideological neutrality (avoiding partisan or ideological manipulation)
- 2Defines problematic AI as those incorporating DEI concepts, critical race theory, or other ideological agendas that the order claims distort factual accuracy
- 3Requires OMB to issue guidance within 120 days allowing vendors to demonstrate compliance through transparency about system prompts and specifications rather than disclosing proprietary model weights
- 4Directs agencies to include compliance requirements in new federal AI contracts with provisions allowing termination and vendor-paid decommissioning costs for noncompliance
- 5Permits exceptions for AI systems used in national security contexts
