The US government is set to implement stricter guidelines for AI procurement, prioritising systems free from 'ideological bias'. This initiative aims to ensure that AI models used by federal agencies provide objective and unbiased information. The AI Action Plan includes revisions to the AI Risk Management Framework, removing references to misinformation, diversity, equity, inclusion, and climate change.
President Trump's administration is focusing on promoting AI innovation while safeguarding free speech and American values. The plan involves over 90 federal actions designed to accelerate AI innovation, build robust infrastructure, and promote international leadership in AI. These actions include removing regulatory hurdles for AI development and limiting federal funding to states with burdensome AI regulations. The administration aims to foster transparency in AI model creation by prioritising open-source and open-weight AI development.
These measures are intended to boost the US's competitive edge in AI against foreign adversaries and ensure that AI technologies benefit American workers. The government will update federal procurement guidelines to ensure agencies acquire AI technology only from companies that guarantee their systems are objective and free from ideological bias.
