Holding / Framework
Replacement memorandum that reframes federal AI governance toward acceleration and innovation, partially superseding M-24-10. Preserves some operational structures (Chief AI Officer roles, AI use-case inventories) but reorients the policy emphasis from safety/rights-protection to adoption velocity and public trust. Establishes the POLICY-WHIPLASH FRAMEWORK for federal AI compliance officers: agency-level governance structures must accommodate rapid policy reorientation across administrations without complete operational reset.
Triggering Conduct
Issued by the Trump administration OMB to replace the Biden-era M-24-10 governance framework, consistent with the broader deregulatory posture of EO 14179.
Disclosure Requirement
Reframes federal AI governance from EO 14110 / M-24-10 emphasis on safety/rights-protection toward an emphasis on innovation, public trust, and accelerated federal AI adoption. Maintains some governance structures (Chief AI Officer roles, inventories) while loosening other risk-management constraints.
