New federal guidance has been issued for U.S. agencies on acquiring artificial intelligence solutions. The White House Office of Management and Budget released a memorandum aimed at managing risks, promoting competition, and sharing information regarding AI procurement. This initiative is crucial as the U.S. government is the largest buyer of technology, spending over $100 billion on IT products and services in 2023 alone.
The memorandum outlines that AI will be treated as a type of IT acquisition, requiring agencies to foster competition and prevent vendor lock-in. Agencies must also share information about AI acquisitions and comply with upcoming deadlines to identify and manage contracts involving rights- and safety-impacting AI. This structured approach aims to ensure responsible AI use while maximizing its potential benefits.
