Executive Order on AI (US)
The comprehensive executive order on AI issued by the Biden administration in October 2023, establishing safety standards, reporting requirements, and policy guidance for AI development in the United States.
The Executive Order required AI companies to share safety test results for models trained above certain compute thresholds with the federal government. It directed NIST to develop AI safety standards and established reporting requirements for large-scale AI training runs. The order addressed AI's impact on workers, consumers, healthcare, and national security. The Trump administration partially rolled back the order in early 2025, signaling a shift toward less regulation. The EO represented the most significant US federal action on AI policy and influenced corporate safety practices even as its future remains uncertain.
