General Provisions in Biden AI Order Safeguard Executive Authority

Written by @whitehouse | Published on 2023/11/10

TL;DR —

The AI governance executive order, signed by President Joseph R. Biden Jr., ensures that it does not infringe upon existing executive department authority or the role of the Office of Management and Budget. It emphasizes compliance with applicable laws and is contingent upon the availability of appropriations. Importantly, the order does not establish any enforceable rights or benefits against the United States or its entities, officers, or agents.

General Provisions.

(a) Nothing in this order shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:

(i) the authority granted by law to an executive department or agency, or the head thereof; or

(ii) the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.

(b) This order shall be implemented consistent with applicable law and subject to the availability of appropriations.

(c) This order is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.
