Prohibits federal agencies from using AI systems that incorporate DEI-related criteria or produce outputs that the administration characterizes as politically biased.
Section by Section
What each section does, and how they differ.
Addresses concerns about ideological bias in AI models procured by the Federal Government, particularly diversity and inclusion (DEI) influences.
Defines agency, agency head, large language model (LLM), and national security system for purposes of the order.
Establishes two principles for Federal AI procurement: Truth-seeking (historical accuracy and objectivity) and Ideological Neutrality (non-partisan, non-DEI-influenced outputs).
Directs OMB to issue guidance within 120 days on implementing the Unbiased AI Principles for LLM procurement, with vendor disclosure options and agency-level considerations.
Standard boilerplate: preserves existing agency authority, conditions the order on appropriations, and creates no enforceable private rights.
