FAIR Act
This bill prohibits U.S. federal agencies from purchasing large language models (LLMs) that do not meet specific standards for truthfulness, neutrality, and accuracy. It requires all federal LLM procurement after enactment to prioritize factual responses, historical/scientific accuracy, and nonpartisan outputs - explicitly banning models that encode partisan views or favor concepts like diversity, equity, and inclusion unless prompted by users. The rule applies to all federal agencies (excluding the Government Accountability Office) and directly affects LLM developers seeking government contracts. Key provisions mandate that LLMs must acknowledge uncertainty, avoid ideological manipulation, and remain neutral in responses. The law creates a concrete procurement standard for federal AI tools, not a broader regulation.
