The government contracting world has spent eighteen months covering the post-OMB M-25-22 wave of AI contract language as a burden. Gibson Dunn’s analysis of GSA’s draft AI clause is representative: new disclosure requirements, new use-rights obligations, new contractor exposure. Every agency writing an AI clause this year, and every donor who will copy one next year, should start from this template. The USTDA clause carries no such carve-out, which means its literal text sweeps in the spell-checker on every contractor laptop. Build human-review gates and provenance tracking into the drafting workflow, with independent verification of factual claims against primary sources, which is what the USTDA clause demands anyway and what good analysis demanded before AI existed.
