Executive Order 14179 of January 23, 2025
Removing Barriers to American Leadership in
Artificial Intelligence
By the authority vested in me as President by the
Constitution and the laws of the United States of
America, it is hereby ordered:
Section 1. Purpose. The United States has long been at
the forefront of artificial intelligence (AI)
innovation, driven by the strength of our free markets,
world-class research institutions, and entrepreneurial
spirit. To maintain this leadership, we must develop AI
systems that are free from ideological bias or
engineered social agendas. With the right Government
policies, we can solidify our position as the global
leader in AI and secure a brighter future for all
Americans. This order revokes certain existing AI
policies and directives that act as barriers to
American AI innovation, clearing a path for the United
States to act decisively to retain global leadership in
artificial intelligence.
Sec. 2. Policy. It is the policy of the United States
to sustain and enhance America's global AI dominance in
order to promote human flourishing, economic
competitiveness, and national security.
Sec. 3. Definition. For the purposes of this order,
``artificial intelligence'' or ``AI'' has the meaning
set forth in 15 U.S.C. 9401(3).
Sec. 4. Developing an Artificial Intelligence Action
Plan. (a) Within 180 days of this order, the Assistant
to the President for Science and Technology (APST), the
Special Advisor for AI and Crypto, and the Assistant to
the President for National Security Affairs (APNSA), in
coordination with the Assistant to the President for
Economic Policy, the Assistant to the President for
Domestic Policy, the Director of the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB Director), and the heads of
such executive departments and agencies (agencies) as
the APST and APNSA deem relevant, shall develop and
submit to the President an action plan to achieve the
policy set forth in section 2 of this order.
Sec. 5. Implementation of Order Revocation. (a) The
APST, the Special Advisor for AI and Crypto, and the
APNSA shall immediately review, in coordination with
the heads of all agencies as they deem relevant, all
policies, directives, regulations, orders, and other
actions taken pursuant to the revoked Executive Order
14110 of October 30, 2023 (Safe, Secure, and
Trustworthy Development and Use of Artificial
Intelligence). The APST, the Special Advisor for AI and
Crypto, and the APNSA shall, in coordination with the
heads of relevant agencies, identify any actions taken
pursuant to Executive Order 14110 that are or may be
inconsistent with, or present obstacles to, the policy
set forth in section 2 of this order. For any such
agency actions identified, the heads of agencies shall,
as appropriate and consistent with applicable law,
suspend, revise, or rescind such actions, or propose
suspending, revising, or rescinding such actions. If in
any case such suspension, revision, or rescission
cannot be finalized immediately, the APST and the heads
of agencies shall promptly take steps to provide all
available exemptions authorized by any such orders,
rules, regulations, guidelines, or policies, as
appropriate and consistent with applicable law, until
such action can be finalized.
(b) Within 60 days of this order, the OMB Director,
in coordination with the APST, shall revise OMB
Memoranda M-24-10 and M-24-18 as necessary
[[Page 8742]]
to make them consistent with the policy set forth in
section 2 of this order.
Sec. 6. General Provisions. (a) Nothing in this order
shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:
(i) the authority granted by law to an executive department or agency, or
the head thereof; or
(ii) the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget
relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.
(b) This order shall be implemented consistent with
applicable law and subject to the availability of
appropriations.
(c) This order is not intended to, and does not,
create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural,
enforceable at law or in equity by any party against
the United States, its departments, agencies, or
entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any
other person.
