Trump administration rolls out AI action plan tied to federal contracts
President Donald Trump is set to sign executive orders on artificial intelligence aimed at giving the U.S. an edge in the tech race. The key move: AI developers must keep chatbots free of ideological bias to qualify for federal contracts.
White House AI and crypto czar David Sacks said the government demands AI systems avoid "socially engineered agendas." 
"We believe that AI systems should be free of ideological bias and not be designed to pursue socially engineered agendas," David Sacks told reporters.
The government will tweak procurement rules to only work with large language model developers that support "free speech and expression," according to Michael Kratsios, director of the White House office of science and technology policy.
The plan also promises to cut back "onerous Federal regulations that hinder AI development and deployment," per a White House statement.
How ideological bias gets defined or caught wasn’t detailed. The Government Services Administration will draft requirements focusing on AI truthfulness for federal gigs, a White House source said.
The AI policy rollout happens today at 5 p.m. ET. Refresh the page if the stream doesn’t appear.
