                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

                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

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.
                
                
                    (Presidential Sig.)

                THE WHITE HOUSE,

                    January 23, 2025.
