Protecting AI and Cloud Competition in Defense Act of 2025
The Protecting AI and Cloud Competition in Defense Act of 2025 requires the Department of Defense to use competitive bidding for contracts involving cloud computing, data infrastructure, and large AI models (foundation models), aiming to foster market competition. It prohibits contractors from using government data to train commercial AI products without explicit permission and mandates the use of multi-cloud solutions where feasible to avoid vendor lock-in. The Department must submit annual reports to Congress starting in 2027, detailing competition in the AI sector, market concentration, and any exemptions granted to contractors for national security reasons.
