EO 14179

Executive Order 14179, "Removing Barriers to American Leadership in Artificial Intelligence", signed January 23, 2025. The order rescinds the Biden-era Executive Order 14110, directs OMB to revise the federal AI memos (the resulting documents are M-25-21 and M-25-22, both dated April 3, 2025), and requires the development of a national AI Action Plan within 180 days. EO 14179 reframes the federal posture from precautionary AI governance toward accelerated adoption while retaining the CAIO role, the high-impact use case category, and the AI use case inventory obligation.
