A software industry trade group representing Microsoft, OpenAI, Oracle, Salesforce and IBM is pushing back against the Trump administration’s effort to stamp out “woke” artificial intelligence, arguing that proposed contract rules are “not feasible to implement.” The group, called the Business Software Alliance, is urging the federal General Services Administration to rewrite draft rules that would require AI systems sold to the government to comply with the administration’s “Unbiased AI Principles.” The trade group said the draft rules, released for public comment last week, rely on vague standards and could expose contractors to legal and financial risks. The move came weeks after an in-depth analysis by the Washington Post found lefty bias among leading AI chatbots on issues from DEI and gay conversion to campaign finance and defunding the police. The fight stems from President Trump’s executive order directing federal agencies to buy AI models that are “truth-seeking” and “ideologically neutral.” The Office of Management and Budget later turned those principles into procurement guidance that GSA is now trying to write into government contracts. If the rule takes effect, companies selling AI to the government would have to certify their systems meet those standards, submit to government testing and risk losing contracts if officials conclude they don’t. BSA argues that today’s AI doesn’t work like a calculator, as large language models generate probabilistic responses rather than guaranteed factual answers. “Current technical realities do not enable guarantees of factual accuracy, as they are inherently probabilistic,” the group wrote, adding
