H.R. 5315
The FAIR Act prohibits federal agencies from purchasing large language models (AI systems that generate text responses) unless they are developed according to specific principles emphasizing truthfulness, historical accuracy, scientific objectivity, and political neutrality. The bill requires that these AI systems not embed partisan or ideological viewpoints—such as those related to diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives—into their responses without explicit user prompting. The legislation applies to all major federal agencies, including executive departments, military departments, and independent establishments, but excludes the Government Accountability Office. The bill does not specify funding amounts or implementation timelines beyond stating that the restrictions take effect after the law's enactment. Essentially, this bill aims to ensure that AI tools purchased by the federal government meet standards the sponsors define as neutral and unbiased in their treatment of factual information.
