David Sacks AI Framework includes ethics waivers and EO 14365 directing agencies to adopt AI

White House AI czar David Sacks releases the Trump administration's AI Action Plan, implementing Executive Order 14365. The plan directs federal agencies to "accelerate AI adoption" without waiting for formal risk assessments and includes a provision for ethics waivers allowing agencies to deploy AI in high-risk contexts — including criminal justice and immigration — without completing bias audits. The plan also directs NIST to revise its AI Risk Management Framework to remove references to "discriminatory outcomes" as a primary concern. Critics call the plan a roadmap for unchecked government AI surveillance.
