US Proposes Strict AI Contract Rules Amid Pentagon's Anthropic Dispute

The Trump administration has drafted strict guidelines for civilian AI contracts requiring companies to grant the U.S. an irrevocable license for any lawful use of their models. This follows the Pentagon designating AI firm Anthropic as a "supply-chain risk" and barring its technology from military use after disputes over safeguards. The guidelines, proposed by the General Services Administration, also mandate AI systems avoid partisan or ideological bias and disclose compliance with foreign regulations, aiming to strengthen government AI procurement.
