The Trump Administration has issued a new Executive Order (EO) on Artificial Intelligence (AI) that previews the new direction for federal AI policy.

*****

As we noted in a recent update, one of President Trump’s first actions in his second term was an Executive Order – Initial Rescissions of Harmful Executive Orders and Actions (Recission EO) – that revoked a long list of Biden Administration Executive Orders and actions, including the October 2023 Executive Order 14110 on AI (2023 Biden AI EO). Following the Recission EO, big questions still remained about the many completed and ongoing actions from federal agencies that were undertaken to implement the 2023 Biden AI EO, including guidance for federal agencies on the use of AI from the Office of Budget and Management (OMB).
