Removing Barriers to American Leadership in Artificial Intelligence

The order revokes Executive Order 14110 of October 30, 2023 ("Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy Development and Use of Artificial Intelligence") and directs the Assistant to the President for Science and Technology, the Special Advisor for AI and Crypto, and the National Security Advisor to immediately review all policies, regulations, and agency actions taken under that revoked order. Agency heads must suspend, revise, or rescind any such actions found inconsistent with the new policy of sustaining American AI dominance; where immediate rescission is not possible, agencies must grant all available exemptions in the interim. The Office of Management and Budget must separately revise two AI-related policy memoranda (M-24-10 and M-24-18) within 60 days.

Within 180 days, those same senior White House officials — coordinating with economic, domestic policy, and national security advisors and relevant agency heads — must develop and submit a new AI action plan to the President. The order does not itself impose new requirements on private-sector AI developers; its operative effect is the removal of prior constraints and the launch of a planning process for future policy direction.

Federal agencies that adopted rules, guidance, or reporting requirements under the 2023 Biden AI order, which must now audit and roll back those actions. AI developers and companies previously subject to EO 14110 compliance obligations — such as mandatory safety reporting for high-capability models — may see those requirements suspended or eliminated.

Companies and researchers operating under Biden-era AI safety mandates — including mandatory disclosures for powerful AI systems — face immediate uncertainty about which obligations remain in force. Federal agencies must begin unwinding EO 14110-linked rules right away, reshaping the regulatory landscape for AI development before a new permanent framework is established.

The APST, Special Advisor for AI and Crypto, and APNSA jointly lead implementation, coordinating across all relevant agencies. Deregulatory effects can begin immediately: agency heads act on the review mandate in real time without waiting for the action plan. OMB has a hard 60-day deadline to revise its AI memoranda. The 180-day action plan is the capstone deliverable, but it only sets future direction — actual rollback of specific agency rules happens on a rolling basis as reviews are completed. The order contains a standard savings clause preserving existing agency legal authorities and OMB budgetary functions.
