Executive Order 14365

The order was issued as the administration indicated it would work with Congress to develop a single national framework for artificial intelligence regulation,^[4][2] amid growing state-level regulation in the United States, where multiple states had adopted laws addressing issues such as safety, transparency, and consumer protection.^[5]

The order directs federal authorities to challenge certain state-level artificial intelligence laws and contemplates limiting federal funding to states maintaining regulations deemed inconsistent with federal policy.^[5] It also reflects concerns within the administration that a fragmented state-by-state regulatory approach could hinder the development and deployment of artificial intelligence technologies.^[5]

The order also directs federal agencies to take measures to limit the enforcement of certain state-level artificial intelligence regulations and to promote the development of a unified national framework in coordination with Congress.^[6]
