OMB M-25-22: Driving Efficient Acquisition of Artificial Intelligence in Government
Is this legally binding?
Binding, sectoral. Binding, but only for a defined population: one regulated sector, or the federal government and the vendors it buys from.
Issued 3 April 2025. The vendor facing half of the pair: how agencies buy AI, what performance they track, and what they must be able to say about risk. If you sell AI to a US agency, read this one before M-25-21.
