"The guidance from the Office of Management and Budget states that agencieslooking to buy AI systemsmust determine whether the models comply with what it calls two "unbiased AI principles" - "truth-seeking" and "ideological neutrality." The information they have to obtain will vary depending on the company's role in the software supply chain and the relationship between the company and the model developer, according to the guidance. Generally, the closer the company is to the model developer the more information should be available."
""Where practicable, agencies should avoid requirements that compel a vendor to disclose sensitive technical data, such as specific model weights," the guidance states. Beyond LLMs, agencies should also use this guidance for other types of generative AI, such as image or voice tools. The memo notes that while the requirements of the memo don't apply to national security systems, following it is "encouraged." Catch up quick: This OMB guidance was called for in an executive order President Trump signed in July."
Federal guidance requires agencies to determine whether AI models meet two unbiased AI principles: truth-seeking and ideological neutrality. Required supplier information varies by a company's role in the software supply chain and its relationship to the model developer, with closer relationships requiring more disclosure. Agencies should avoid compelling vendors to reveal sensitive technical data, such as model weights, where practicable. The guidance applies to generative AI beyond LLMs, including image and voice tools. The memo exempts national security systems from its requirements but encourages adoption. The requirement stemmed from an executive order signed in July that emphasizes these principles.
