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.
