The FAIR Act would require federal agencies to only buy or use large language models that prioritize factual accuracy, acknowledge uncertainty, and avoid favoring ideological viewpoints, specifically naming "diversity, equity, and inclusion" as an example of ideology to avoid. Developers would be barred from secretly building political bias into AI answers unless users request it or it's clearly disclosed.
Federal agencies buying AI tools and companies that develop AI systems for government contracts would be affected; the Government Accountability Office is exempt.
Companies selling AI to the government would need to redesign products to meet these neutrality and accuracy standards to qualify for contracts, and citizens interacting with government AI tools could see effects from these requirements even though they aren't directly regulated.
