An analysis of GSA's proposed AI clause
About this episode
Jonathan Aronie discusses GSA's proposed AI clause and its implications for federal contractors and DEI discrimination.
Jonathan Aronie, partner at Sheppard Mullin , joins Off the Shelf for an engaging discussion of GSA’s proposed AI clause and President Trump’s executive order, “Addressing DEI Discrimination By Federal Contractors .” GSA’s AI Clause establishes a governance framework and establishes an allocation of rights and responsibilities between the government, contractor, and any AI service provider supporting the contractor. The AI clause takes an approach that raises questions regarding its consistency with commercial practice and potential burdens on the private sector that may inhibit access to cutting edge, commercial AI solutions. Aronie analyzes the AI clause’s key provisions, and provides his insights and analysis of the new DEI executive order, which mandates new contract language addressing DEI discrimination. Finally Aronie outlines what contractors need to know regarding, the timing, scope, and mechanics of the executive order’s new contractual obligations on DEI.
