Executive Order 14365, titled Ensuring a National Policy Framework for Artificial Intelligence, is an executive order issued by United States President Donald Trump on December 11, 2025. The order establishes a federal policy aimed at promoting a uniform national framework for artificial intelligence (AI) regulation and limiting the impact of conflicting state laws.
Background The order was issued as the administration indicated it would work with Congress to develop a single national framework for artificial intelligence regulation, amid growing state-level regulation in the United States, where multiple states had adopted laws addressing issues such as safety, transparency, and consumer protection.
The order directs federal authorities to challenge certain state-level artificial intelligence laws and contemplates limiting federal funding to states maintaining regulations deemed inconsistent with federal policy. It also reflects concerns within the administration that a fragmented state-by-state regulatory approach could hinder the development and deployment of artificial intelligence technologies.
