Holding / Framework
Operationalizing companion to EO 14110. Establishes the FEDERAL AGENCY AI GOVERNANCE FRAMEWORK: every federal executive-branch agency must designate a Chief AI Officer, maintain an AI use-case inventory, and apply differentiated risk management to rights-impacting and safety-impacting AI systems. References the NIST AI Risk Management Framework as a key technical reference for agency compliance. Notable persistence layer: even after EO 14110 was revoked, the operational structures created under M-24-10 (CAIO roles, inventories) generally persist as freestanding institutional artifacts; partially superseded by OMB M-25-21 in February 2025.
