Overview
Executive Order 14179 (Removing Barriers to American Leadership in Artificial Intelligence) was signed by President Donald Trump on January 23, 2025, and published on January 31. It directs development of an AI action plan and review of agency measures taken under the previously revoked Executive Order 14110.[1]
Background
Executive Order 14148, signed January 20, 2025, revoked EO 14110 through section 2(ggg). EO 14179 followed three days later and addresses implementation of that revocation; it was not the instrument that first revoked EO 14110.[2][1]
Requirements
Policy and action plan
The order frames federal AI policy around U.S. leadership, economic competitiveness and national security. Section 4 gives the President’s science and technology assistant, Special Advisor for AI and Crypto, and national security assistant 180 days to develop and submit an action plan, coordinating with the other officials and agencies identified in the order.[1]
Review of measures under EO 14110
Section 5(a) directs an immediate review of agency actions under EO 14110. For measures found inconsistent with the new policy, agency heads must, as appropriate and consistent with applicable law, suspend, revise or rescind the measures, or propose doing so. Where changes cannot be finalized immediately, officials must pursue available lawful exemptions. The text therefore distinguishes revocation of the executive order from the separate steps needed to change implementing agency measures.[1]
OMB memoranda
Section 5(b) directs the OMB Director, in coordination with the science and technology assistant, to revise Memoranda M-24-10 and M-24-18 within 60 days as necessary to align them with the order’s policy.[1]
Scope and limitations
Section 6 preserves statutory agency authority and OMB functions, makes implementation subject to applicable law and available appropriations, and disclaims creation of privately enforceable rights or benefits.[1]
