# GSA Sets Federal AI Data Rules

The General Services Administration has established rules governing how contractors use and handle government data in large language model systems, increasing agency control over data ownership and AI processing. For companies supporting federal customers, the rules affect how LLMs may be used with government data and signal greater scrutiny of AI systems as federal acquisition develops.

- Contractors should review the rules’ permitted and prohibited activities and assess how their LLMs handle government data.
- Procurement teams and contractors can use the rules to inform planning for federal AI work, particularly where data ownership and AI processing practices are involved.
