Meta's Llama AI Approved for U.S. Government Use

Meta Platforms, Inc. has secured approval for its Llama AI models to be used by U.S. government agencies, reports Reuters. This initiative is part of a broader effort to integrate commercial AI tools into government operations.

The General Services Administration (GSA), the federal government's procurement arm, will include Llama in its list of approved AI tools for federal agencies. This move aims to enhance the accessibility of AI technologies across various government departments, aligning with the objectives of America's AI Action Plan.

The U.S. Government will benefit from the open-source nature of Llama, allowing federal agencies to maintain full control over data processing and storage. This collaboration is expected to facilitate the testing, adaptation, and deployment of AI applications while ensuring data security.

The General Services Administration will oversee the integration of Llama into government operations, supporting the Trump administration's push to leverage AI for more efficient public services.
