Why It Matters

Demonstrates instability of US federal AI policy. EO-driven requirements can evaporate overnight — treat as unstable unless codified in law or contracts.

Recent Developments

Revoked by EO 14148 (Jan 2025). New policy emphasizes deregulation and "sustaining AI dominance." Compliance roadmaps based on this EO are now stale.
