Executive Order 14179 — Removing Barriers to American Leadership in AI

Dates and status re-checked against primary sources on September 30, 2026. How we verify

Revoked the Biden AI Executive Order (EO 14110) and directed federal agencies to prioritize AI development, emphasizing US competitiveness. Directed development of a national AI action plan within 180 days. A follow-on order signed December 11, 2025, Ensuring a National Policy Framework for Artificial Intelligence, directs federal agencies to challenge or deter state AI laws, including through an AI Litigation Task Force.

What this means for your team

This EO signals a federal posture of reducing AI regulation, not adding it. An executive order does not by itself override state law, so state AI laws that are in force, such as those in Colorado, California, New York, Illinois and Texas, generally still apply unless a court or Congress changes that. Plan your compliance program around the state laws that apply to you, and watch for federal litigation against them.

Key requirements

  • Revoked Biden EO 14110 (Safe, Secure, Trustworthy AI) and associated guidance
  • Directed agencies to identify and remove AI regulations that 'hamper' US AI leadership
  • Required development of a national AI action plan within 180 days
  • Prioritizes AI development for national security and economic competitiveness
  • December 11, 2025 follow-on order: creates an AI Litigation Task Force to challenge state AI laws
