# GSA Proposes AI Data Safeguards

In June 2026, the General Services Administration proposed a rule to safeguard data used in large language models. If adopted, the proposal could impose data-handling, jurisdictional, incident-reporting, and AI-governance obligations on contractors providing AI solutions to the government. For federal business-development and capture teams, the signal also emphasizes using purpose-built AI tools with transparent sourcing for market research and opportunity decisions while retaining human review.

- Contractors offering government AI solutions should evaluate how their data handling, jurisdictional controls, incident reporting, and AI governance align with the areas addressed by the proposal.
- Business-development teams can use purpose-built, transparently sourced AI for research and opportunity assessment, while keeping people responsible for reviewing outputs and decisions.
