Preventing Woke AI in the Federal Government
AI Summary:
This is a policy document - specifically an Executive Order establishing principles and guidelines for procurement of AI Large Language Models (LLMs) by federal agencies.
This regulation aims to ensure that federal government-procured AI Large Language Models (LLMs) adhere to principles of truthfulness and ideological neutrality. The order defines two key principles for LLM procurement: Truth-seeking and Ideological Neutrality. Under these principles, LLMs must prioritize historical accuracy, scientific inquiry, and objectivity while avoiding manipulation of responses through ideological frameworks like Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). The regulation requires the Office of Management and Budget to issue guidance within 120 days on implementing these principles, and mandates that agency heads include compliance requirements in federal contracts for LLMs. Each agency must also develop procedures to ensure procured LLMs meet the specified principles, which include avoiding distortion of factual information, preventing ideological bias, and maintaining transparency about potential ideological judgments in the AI models. The order applies to executive departments and agencies and provides mechanisms for vendors to demonstrate compliance while protecting sensitive technical details.
