- GSA extends comment deadline for AI contract language to April 3 after industry pushback.
- The draft clause includes terms on government data use, unbiased AI, 'American AI' requirements, and contractor enforcement responsibilities.
- Industry had only two weeks initially to review the nine-page draft, causing a scramble for analysis and comments.
- The clause could have widespread impact, potentially serving as a template for other contracts beyond the MAS program.
- Key concerns include the broad scope of the clause, potential conflicts with commercial terms, and the short review period.
- The draft reflects a shift in governance approach, introducing stringent requirements despite previous deregulatory signals from the administration.
