Executive Order 14110

Executive Order 14110, titled Executive Order on Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy Development and Use of Artificial Intelligence (sometimes referred to as "Executive Order on Artificial Intelligence") was the 126th executive order signed by former U.S. President Joe Biden. Signed on October 30, 2023, the order defines the administration's policy goals regarding artificial intelligence (AI), and orders executive agencies to take actions pursuant to these goals. The order is considered to be the most comprehensive piece of governance by the United States regarding AI. It was rescinded by U.S. President Donald Trump within hours of his assuming office on January 20, 2025. Policy goals outlined in the executive order pertain to promoting competition in the AI industry, preventing AI-enabled threats to civil liberties and national security, and ensuring U.S. global competitiveness in the AI field. The executive order required a number of major federal agencies to create dedicated "chief artificial intelligence officer" positions within their organizations.

• President Trump Signs Executive Order Challenging State AI Laws

  (#_ftnref2) President Trump has issued a series of executive orders focusing on American leadership in AI. In 2019, during his first administration, President Trump issued Executive Order 13859, “Maintaining American Leadership in AI,” that launched the American AI Initiative focusing on federal research and development, data access, workforce and U.S. economic and national security leadership in AI. In July 2025, President Trump signed the “Preventing Woke AI in the Federal Government” executive order. Although this executive order seems to focus on eliminating perceived political bias in AI procured by federal entities, we think that its practical effect is to assert federal authority over core questions of AI governance. [...] Several categories of state AI laws that we believe are potentially vulnerable to review under the Executive Order are those that impose transparency, reporting, documentation or safety-testing requirements on developers and deployers. This includes laws such as Colorado’s AI Act (which is directly named in the Executive Order), California’s SB 53 (the Frontier Model Safety and Transparency Act) and California’s AB 2013, which require training data disclosures. The Executive Order refers to these state regulations not merely as burdensome, but as “legally deceptive.” The Executive Order also puts at risk state rules that require explanations of algorithms or mandate independent audits, such as California’s CCPA automated decision making regulations or New York City’s Local Law [...] (#_ftnref1) On November 19, 2025, several news outlets leaked a draft of the Executive Order, causing a debate about federal preemption of state AI laws. The initial executive order was on pause while the House made a last-minute effort to include AI preemption language in the National Defense Authorization Act, which ultimately failed. President Trump had repeatedly signaled his intent to sign the Executive Order, including posting on Truth Social and holding meetings with senators to discuss federal authority over AI policy.

  However, on December 11, 2025, President Trump signed an executive order that casts doubt on the enforceability of these and other state AI laws. The executive order, titled “Ensuring a National Policy Framework for Artificial Intelligence” (the “Executive Order”), proposes to establish a uniform Federal policy framework for AI that preempts state AI laws that are deemed by the Trump administration to be inconsistent with that policy. The timing of the Executive Order suggests that the California TFAIA, the Texas RAIGA, and other state AI laws with proximate effective dates are targets of the Executive Order. These other state laws (effective on January 1, 2026, unless noted below) include, among others: [...] The Executive Order also directs the Secretary of Commerce to publish, by March 11, 2026, an evaluation identifying burdensome state AI laws that conflict with the federal policy and merit referral to the Task Force. At a minimum, the evaluation must flag state laws that require AI models to alter truthful outputs or compel disclosures or reporting that would violate the First Amendment or other constitutional protections. The Executive Order leverages federal funding and regulatory standards by directing: [...] ## The Executive Order The Executive Order directs the Executive branch to coordinate federal action and encourage federal legislation for a uniform standard. The Executive Order directs the Attorney General to establish an AI litigation task force (the “Task Force”) to challenge state AI laws deemed inconsistent with the Executive Order’s language, including on the grounds of unconstitutional regulation of interstate commerce and federal preemption. The Executive Order calls for an evaluation of state AI laws, including those that compel disclosures or alter model outputs in ways that may raise constitutional concerns, underscoring potential federal-state conflict across an existing and growing slate of state AI laws.

  On December 11, 2026, President Trump signed an executive order titled “Ensuring a National Policy Framework for Artificial Intelligence” (the Order). The Order aims to “sustain and enhance the United States’ global AI dominance” by establishing a “minimally burdensome national policy framework for AI” and reducing the web of diverging state laws and regulations that has emerged over the past few years. Among other things, the Order (i) calls for federal standards and legislation that would preempt conflicting state AI regulations, (ii) creates a federal litigation task force focused on challenging state AI laws in court, and (iii) conditions access to federal grant funding on states’ willingness to avoid enacting onerous AI laws. [...] The Order is the latest effort by the Trump administration to limit state influence in AI regulation. Earlier this year, the administration published its AI Action Plan, a 28-page strategy document outlining a series of initiatives designed to reduce regulatory barriers, promote AI research, and foster public-private collaboration. Like the Order, the Action Plan took aim at state-level AI regulation by directing federal agencies to consider a state’s “regulatory climate” when making AI-related federal funding decisions and to not distribute such funds to states with burdensome AI regulations. The Action Plan’s release came on the heels of a proposed 10-year state law moratorium that Republicans introduced in a draft of the House reconciliation bill, which ultimately failed.

• New Executive Order Signals Federal Preemption Strategy for State ...

  Manage Subscriptions On December 11, 2025, the White House issued an Executive Order that marked a significant shift in federal artificial intelligence (AI) policy. The “Ensuring a National Policy Framework for Artificial Intelligence Order" (the Order) aims to establish a unified national approach to AI regulation by limiting the authority of the states to enact and enforce individual AI laws. The administration has positioned this move as necessary to maintain U.S. competitiveness in the global AI race, arguing that the current patchwork of state regulations creates excessive compliance burdens that stifle innovation. [...] Conclusion The Executive Order represents a bold assertion of federal authority over AI regulation that will reshape the legal landscape for AI development and deployment. While the Administration’s objectives of promoting innovation and maintaining global competitiveness are widely shared, the means of achieving these goals through preemption of state authority will face significant legal and political challenges in the months ahead. Contributors HARRY A. VALETK, CIPP/US MEGAN E. SMITH-BEATY RANDY P. VULAKOVICH Related Services & Industries ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY DATA CENTERS & AI INFRASTRUCTURE Related Offices NEW YORK PITTSBURGH Popular Topics [...] The Order directs multiple federal agencies to take aggressive action within 90 days to identify, challenge, and potentially preempt state AI laws deemed inconsistent with federal policy objectives. Companies operating in the AI space should prepare for a period of regulatory uncertainty as the federal government and states embark on a federalism conflict. Key Provisions and Timelines of the Executive Order AI Litigation Task Force:The Attorney General must establish a task force within 30 days of the date of this Order whose sole responsibility is to contest state AI laws on constitutional grounds, including arguments that such laws unconstitutionally regulate interstate commerce, are preempted by existing federal regulations, or are otherwise unlawful.

• Unpacking the December 11, 2025 Executive Order - Sidley

  ##### Privacy and Cybersecurity Update # Unpacking the December 11, 2025 Executive Order: Ensuring a National Policy Framework for Artificial Intelligence December 23, 2025 + PDF letter + PDF A4 On December 11, 2025, President Trump issued a new Executive Order (EO) to protect American Artificial Intelligence (AI) innovation from “the most onerous and excessive laws emerging from the States that threaten to stymie innovation.” Consistent with the President’s July 2025 America’s AI Action Plan, the EO further indicates, “[i]t is the policy of the United States to sustain and enhance the United States’ global AI dominance through a minimally burdensome national policy framework for AI.” [...] The EO arrives at a time of extensive state legislative activity concerning AI. Multiple sources, including the White House and the National Conference of State Legislatures, have noted that in 2025 more than 1,000 AI-related bills were introduced across all U.S. states and territories. While other sources, including the Future of Privacy Forum, have reported lower numbers based on different calculation metrics, it is undeniable that AI is an increasing area of focus for both Republican and Democratic lawmakers and that dozens of new state AI laws were enacted this year. Ultimately, the EO seeks to centralize AI policy by mobilizing the DOJ to identify and challenge “onerous” state AI laws, discourages state enactment and enforcement of AI laws that conflict with federal policy—including [...] Notably, the EO singles out state laws that could require AI systems to alter truthful outputs or compel disclosures that may infringe First Amendment protections or other constitutional rights as problematic. This language furthers a clear administration concern with state-level mandates that regulate AI content generation or impose viewpoint-based obligations on AI developers and deployers, and also continues a theme from the July 23, 2025 Executive Order 14319, “Preventing Woke AI in the Federal Government.”
