Summary

Signed by President Trump in January 2025, this executive order revokes Biden-era AI safety mandates (including EO 14110) and reorients U.S. AI policy toward promoting innovation, economic competitiveness, and minimizing regulatory burdens. It directs agencies to review and rescind rules seen as impeding AI development and instructs the development of a new national AI action plan prioritizing American dominance in AI.

Key Points

•Revokes Biden's EO 14110 on Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy AI and associated safety-focused guidance and policies.
•Directs all agency heads to identify and rescind regulations or policies inconsistent with promoting AI innovation and American leadership.
•Instructs OSTP and relevant agencies to develop a new national AI action plan within 180 days.
•Signals a shift away from precautionary AI governance toward a deregulatory, competitiveness-first framework.
•Has implications for the future of U.S. AI Safety Institute (AISI) and mandatory safety reporting requirements like compute thresholds.

 Legal Status 
 
 This site displays a prototype of a “Web 2.0” version of the daily
 Federal Register. It is not an official legal edition of the Federal
 Register, and does not replace the official print version or the official
 electronic version on GPO’s govinfo.gov.
 

 
 The documents posted on this site are XML renditions of published Federal
 Register documents. Each document posted on the site includes a link to the
 corresponding official PDF file on govinfo.gov. This prototype edition of the
 daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov will remain an unofficial
 informational resource until the Administrative Committee of the Federal
 Register (ACFR) issues a regulation granting it official legal status.
 For complete information about, and access to, our official publications
 and services, go to
 
 About the Federal Register
 
 on NARA's archives.gov.
 

 
 The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable
 regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of
 establishing the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned
 publication in the future. While every effort has been made to ensure that
 the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with
 the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for
 legal research should verify their results against an official edition of
 the Federal Register. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML
 rendition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov does not
 provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts.
