United States Federal AI Policy (OMB M-25-21, M-25-22, and M-26-04) Regulatory Requirements

This annex gives the adopter a single per-regime view of United States federal executive-branch AI policy: three Office of Management and Budget (OMB) memoranda, M-25-21 on federal agency use of AI, M-25-22 on federal acquisition of AI, and M-26-04 on the Unbiased AI Principles for agency-procured large language models (LLMs), set against America's AI Action Plan (July 2025) and Executive Order 14365 on state AI laws. It sits alongside the ai/jurisdictions/ US-state annexes (California, Colorado, Illinois, New York City, and Texas).
