Mozilla is fighting back against President Trump's order to eliminate critical AI protections, which would allow government agencies to deploy untested AI in high-stakes areas like healthcare, veterans’ benefits, and security screening.
In partnership with veterans and consumer advocacy groups, Mozilla has issued an urgent letter urging the White House to uphold these essential safeguards.
As this letter reaches the administration, it's crucial to show strong public support for these common-sense protections. Decision-makers must understand that Americans won’t tolerate AI-driven errors affecting their rights and well-being.
Sign our open letter to send a clear message to the White House: Untested and unaccountable AI has no place in decisions impacting seniors, veterans, and everyday consumers.

Open Letter to the White House: Don't Let the Government Use Untested AI on Us
We, the undersigned, call on your administration to keep key rules in place that require AI systems used in high-risk areas — like healthcare, benefits, and security — to be tested and transparently reported before they are deployed. These are basic best practices in engineering and risk management, and removing them could cause real harm to seniors, veterans, and everyday consumers.
The federal government is responsible for ensuring that AI systems used in essential services are tested and monitored for accuracy and reliability. However, a new Executive Order threatens to strip away existing safeguards, allowing federal agencies and contractors to deploy untested AI with no public accountability.
Federal agencies should be using AI to help people, not to cut corners at their expense. We urge you to uphold safety and transparency standards for AI systems that impact millions of Americans.
