Executive Order 14179: Removing Barriers to American Leadership in Artificial Intelligence
Revokes the Biden-era EO 14110 on safe, secure and trustworthy AI and directs agencies to review and rescind actions taken under it. Sets federal policy to 'sustain and enhance America's global AI dominance' and ordered the AI Action Plan delivered in July 2025.
Why it matters
It removed EO 14110's reporting expectations for developers of large models, so there is currently no general federal compliance regime for private AI developers.
