By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered:<\/p>\n
Section 1.\u00a0 Purpose.\u00a0 United States leadership in Artificial Intelligence (AI) will promote United States national and economic security and dominance across many domains.\u00a0 Pursuant to Executive Order 14179 of January 23, 2025 (Removing Barriers to American Leadership in Artificial Intelligence), I revoked my predecessor\u2019s attempt to paralyze this industry and directed my Administration to remove barriers to United States AI leadership.\u00a0 My Administration has already done tremendous work to advance that objective, including by updating existing Federal regulatory frameworks to remove barriers to and encourage adoption of AI applications across sectors.\u00a0 These efforts have already delivered tremendous benefits to the American people and led to trillions of dollars of investments across the country. \u00a0But we remain in the earliest days of this technological revolution and are in a race with adversaries for supremacy within it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
To win, United States AI companies must be free to innovate without cumbersome regulation. \u00a0But excessive State regulation thwarts this imperative. \u00a0First, State-by-State regulation by definition creates a patchwork of 50 different regulatory regimes that makes compliance more challenging, particularly for start-ups. \u00a0Second, State laws are increasingly responsible for requiring entities to embed ideological bias within models. \u00a0For example, a new Colorado law banning \u201calgorithmic discrimination\u201d may even force AI models to produce false results in order to avoid a \u201cdifferential treatment or impact\u201d on protected groups. \u00a0Third, State laws sometimes impermissibly regulate beyond State borders, impinging on interstate commerce.<\/p>\n
My Administration must act with the Congress to ensure that there is a minimally burdensome national standard \u2014 not 50 discordant State ones. \u00a0The resulting framework must forbid State laws that conflict with the policy set forth in this order. \u00a0That framework should also ensure that children are protected, censorship is prevented, copyrights are respected, and communities are safeguarded. \u00a0A carefully crafted national framework can ensure that the United States wins the AI race, as we must.<\/p>\n
Until such a national standard exists, however, it is imperative that my Administration takes action to check the most onerous and excessive laws emerging from the States that threaten to stymie innovation.<\/p>\n
Sec. 2.\u00a0 Policy.\u00a0 It is the policy of the United States to sustain and enhance the United States\u2019 global AI dominance through a minimally burdensome national policy framework for AI.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sec. 3.\u00a0 AI Litigation Task Force.\u00a0 Within 30 days of the date of this order, the Attorney General shall establish an AI Litigation Task Force (Task Force) whose sole responsibility shall be to challenge State AI laws inconsistent with the policy set forth in section 2 of this order, including on grounds that such laws unconstitutionally regulate interstate commerce, are preempted by existing Federal regulations, or are otherwise unlawful in the Attorney General\u2019s judgment, including, if appropriate, those laws identified pursuant to section 4 of this order.\u00a0 The Task Force shall consult from time to time with the Special Advisor for AI and Crypto, the Assistant to the President for Science and Technology, the Assistant to the President for Economic Policy, and the Assistant to the President and Counsel to the President regarding the emergence of specific State AI laws that warrant challenge.<\/p>\n
Sec. 4.\u00a0 Evaluation of State AI Laws.\u00a0 Within 90 days of the date of this order, the Secretary of Commerce, consistent with the Secretary\u2019s authorities under 47 U.S.C. 902(b), shall, in consultation with the Special Advisor for AI and Crypto, the Assistant to the President for Economic Policy, the Assistant to the President for Science and Technology, and the Assistant to the President and Counsel to the President, publish an evaluation of existing State AI laws that identifies onerous laws that conflict with the policy set forth in section 2 of this order, as well as laws that should be referred to the Task Force established pursuant to section 3 of this order.\u00a0 That evaluation of State AI laws shall, at a minimum, identify laws that require AI models to alter their truthful outputs, or that may compel AI developers or deployers to disclose or report information in a manner that would violate the First Amendment or any other provision of the Constitution. \u00a0The evaluation may additionally identify State laws that promote AI innovation consistent with the policy set forth in section 2 of this order.<\/p>\n
Sec. 5.\u00a0 Restrictions on State Funding.\u00a0 (a)\u00a0 Within 90 days of the date of this order, the Secretary of Commerce, through the Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Communications and Information, shall issue a Policy Notice specifying the conditions under which States may be eligible for remaining funding under the Broadband Equity Access and Deployment (BEAD) Program that was saved through my Administration\u2019s \u201cBenefit of the Bargain\u201d reforms, consistent with 47 U.S.C. 1702(e)-(f).\u00a0 That Policy Notice must provide that States with onerous AI laws identified pursuant to section 4 of this order are ineligible for non-deployment funds, to the maximum extent allowed by Federal law.\u00a0 The Policy Notice must also describe how a fragmented State regulatory landscape for AI threatens to undermine BEAD-funded deployments, the growth of AI applications reliant on high-speed networks, and BEAD\u2019s mission of delivering universal, high-speed connectivity.<\/p>\n
(b)\u00a0 Executive departments and agencies (agencies) shall assess their discretionary grant programs in consultation with the Special Advisor for AI and Crypto and determine whether agencies may condition such grants on States either not enacting an AI law that conflicts with the policy of this order, including any AI law identified pursuant to section 4 or challenged pursuant to section 3 of this order, or, for those States that have enacted such laws, on those States entering into a binding agreement with the relevant agency not to enforce any such laws during the performance period in which it receives the discretionary funding.<\/p>\n
Sec. 6.\u00a0 Federal Reporting and Disclosure Standard.\u00a0 Within 90 days of the publication of the identification specified in section 4 of this order, the Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission shall, in consultation with the Special Advisor for AI and Crypto, initiate a proceeding to determine whether to adopt a Federal reporting and disclosure standard for AI models that preempts conflicting State laws.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sec. 7.\u00a0 Preemption of State Laws Mandating Deceptive Conduct in AI Models.\u00a0 Within 90 days of the date of this order, the Chairman of the Federal Trade Commission shall, in consultation with the Special Advisor for AI and Crypto, issue a policy statement on the application of the Federal Trade Commission Act\u2019s prohibition on unfair and deceptive acts or practices under 15 U.S.C. 45 to AI models.\u00a0 That policy statement must explain the circumstances under which State laws that require alterations to the truthful outputs of AI models are preempted by the Federal Trade Commission Act\u2019s prohibition on engaging in deceptive acts or practices affecting commerce.<\/p>\n
Sec. 8.\u00a0 Legislation. \u00a0(a) \u00a0The Special Advisor for AI and Crypto and the Assistant to the President for Science and Technology shall jointly prepare a legislative recommendation establishing a uniform Federal policy framework for AI that preempts State AI laws that conflict with the policy set forth in this order.<\/p>\n
(b) \u00a0The legislative recommendation called for in subsection (a) of this section shall not propose preempting otherwise lawful State AI laws relating to:<\/p>\n
(i) \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0child safety protections;<\/p>\n
(ii) \u00a0\u00a0AI compute and data center infrastructure, other than generally applicable permitting reforms;<\/p>\n
(iii) \u00a0State government procurement and use of AI; and<\/p>\n
(iv) \u00a0\u00a0other topics as shall be determined.<\/p>\n
Sec. 9.\u00a0 General Provisions.\u00a0 (a) \u00a0Nothing in this order shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:<\/p>\n
(i) \u00a0\u00a0the authority granted by law to an executive department or agency, or the head thereof; or<\/p>\n
(ii) \u00a0the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.<\/p>\n
(b) \u00a0This order shall be implemented consistent with applicable law and subject to the availability of appropriations.<\/p>\n
(c) \u00a0This 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.\u00a0<\/p>\n
(d) \u00a0The costs for publication of this order shall be borne by the Department of Commerce.<\/p>\n
