Executive Order 14365 – Ensuring a National Policy Framework for Artificial Intelligence

Executive OrderFederal

Summary

Establishes a national policy framework for artificial intelligence that favors a minimally burdensome federal approach, directs the creation of a DOJ AI Litigation Task Force to challenge state and local AI laws that conflict with federal policy, instructs agencies to identify and preempt inconsistent state requirements, and links certain federal funding and regulatory actions to state compliance with the national AI framework.

Healthcare Implications

Directly affects the landscape for state AI-in-healthcare laws and regulations by inviting federal challenges to stricter state rules on algorithmic discrimination, transparency, and safety; this could weaken or chill state-level protections around clinical AI, insurance and utilization-review algorithms, and public-benefits decision systems, while centralizing more authority for AI governance within federal agencies that oversee health and human services.
