Federal AI Safety Governance
Accountability file
A public-record case file for U.S. federal AI-safety governance and oversight: executive orders on AI, the NIST AI Risk Management Framework, the standards body launched as the U.S. AI Safety Institute and reconstituted as the Center for AI Standards and Innovation, FTC enforcement on AI claims, GAO oversight of federal AI use, and congressional AI hearings and legislation. It keeps executive-order status, standards guidance, enforcement actions, oversight reports, and legislative records separate until a public record supports the exact claim, and it does not rate AI model quality, capability, or safety.

- On the day EO 14434 prints, GSA's America.gov already writes 'SI', including in its link text for four outside articles whose web addresses read 'ai' →records release review · 4 source records
Read summary and limits
Read October 2, the GSA-run America.gov uses EO 14434's new term on its own pages. Its terms of use, under a dateline three weeks before the order, carry a section headed 'Answers generated with SI'. Its About page lists four press articles under link text reading 'SI-powered', 'SI Tool', 'SI-powered hub' and 'SI Push', while the four links' own web addresses read 'ai-powered', 'ai-tool', 'ai-powered-hub' and 'ai-push'; this desk did not open the articles and does not establish what their headlines say. Executive Order 14432, the America.gov order dated the same day as EO 14434, uses the term once, as lower-case 'super intelligence', without defining it or citing EO 14434, whose own definition is stated to apply 'For purposes of this order'. These are readings of one agency site and one order: they show the term in use, not which of EO 14434's two readings — Section 1's 'will not acknowledge' policy or Section 2's substitution in non-statutory documents — agencies follow in general.
Evidence limits. Readings of a live agency site and two printed orders. The terms page's dateline against its use of 'SI' is recorded as an open inconsistency, and nothing here shows that GSA altered anyone's headline — only what its page displays and where its links point.
- Executive Order 14434 prints in the Federal Register at 91 FR 63129, word for word as filed for public inspection →records release · 2 source records
Read summary and limits
The Federal Register published Executive Order 14434, 'Inaugurating the Era of Super Intelligence', on October 2 at 91 FR 63129-63130, the date its public-inspection copy had scheduled. Compared word by word with that copy, the printed text is the same 687 words in the same order, by this desk's count, which ignores line breaks, page furniture, hyphenation and quotation-mark style; the Federal Register's API record lists no corrections. The terminology directive, the definition by cross-reference to 15 U.S.C. 9401(3) and the 60-day deadline for proposed legislative language, which runs from the order's September 29 date and which this desk counts to November 28, stand as filed.
Evidence limits. Publication of an order already on this file. The word comparison is this desk's, and printing changes nothing about what the order requires or establishes.
- Executive Order 14434 tells agencies to write 'Super Intelligence' instead of 'AI' and orders a 60-day proposal for a new federal definition →records release · 2 source records
Read summary and limits
Executive Order 14434, 'Inaugurating the Era of Super Intelligence', dated at the White House September 29, went on Federal Register public inspection and is scheduled to print the next day. Section 2 directs agencies, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to use 'Super Intelligence' and 'SI' in place of 'Artificial Intelligence' and 'AI' in official correspondence, public communications, websites, reports, policy documents and other non-statutory documents, and exempts previously issued regulations, Presidential actions, contracts, grants and historical documents; the broader policy in Section 1 says the executive branch will not acknowledge the old terms' usage in any applicable setting. Section 3 defines the new terms by cross-reference, as the technologies already defined as artificial intelligence at 15 U.S.C. 9401(3), until superseded by later Presidential action or an Act of Congress. Read against that statute, enacted as section 5002 of division E of Public Law 116-283, the definition is structural and carries no capability threshold: a machine-based system that, for a given set of human-defined objectives, makes predictions, recommendations or decisions influencing real or virtual environments. The order gives the Assistant to the President for Science and Technology 60 days to send the President proposed legislative language for a federal definition reflecting the capabilities its Section 1 describes, with an assessment of whether it should modify, expand upon or supersede the statutory one. It sets no safety, standards, evaluation or procurement requirement, says it is subject to the availability of appropriations, and creates no enforceable right.
Evidence limits. A terminology directive and a request for draft legislation. It makes no finding about any AI system, company, agency or official, and an executive order cannot change the statutory definition it cites.
Read the case scope: what is included and excluded
Included in this file
- Executive-order and White House AI-governance records tracked by their current in-force or revoked status (EO 14110, EO 14148, EO 14179, America's AI Action Plan, and EO 14409).
- NIST AI Risk Management Framework records and the Center for AI Standards and Innovation, formerly the U.S. AI Safety Institute, as federal AI standards and evaluation context.
- Federal Trade Commission civil enforcement records involving alleged deceptive or unfair AI claims and their later dispositions.
- Government Accountability Office oversight and audit reports on federal AI governance, implementation, and use.
- Congressional AI oversight records: hearings and AI-governance legislation with sponsor, committee, and status detail.
Outside this file’s scope
- Tracking AI model releases, vendor benchmark claims, or model capability announcements, and rating or ranking AI model quality, safety, or performance, which are covered by the AI release-receipts case.
- Tracking federal AI procurement such as contract awards, OMB and FAR acquisition rules, USAspending, or SAM.gov records, which are covered by the federal AI procurement watch case.
- Treating a policy, framework, hearing, or enforcement filing as proof that a specific AI system is safe, unsafe, compliant, or noncompliant.
What remains unresolved
These questions stay open in the case file.
- Which specific EO 14110 provisions were rescinded versus continued by agency action after the EO 14179 review, and is there an agency-by-agency Federal Register trail?
- CAISI's September 17, 2026 GLM-5.3 assessment documents the method behind its cyber benchmark comparisons (a ReAct agent harness, maximum reasoning settings, a one-parameter IRT capability index); what is its published methodology for other evaluation areas, and which developer agreements are active as of mid-2026?

Publishing limits
These are the standards every anchor on this file must clear.
- Minimum source tier
- official record
- oversight report
- audit report
- legislative record
- civil enforcement record
- Living people
- For named officials, witnesses, or companies, publish only source-backed public roles and exact record relationships; do not infer intent, influence, or blame.
- Victim protection
- Do not publish private, nonpublic, or personal data; enforcement targets are alleged unless a record shows an adjudicated outcome.
- Social leads
- Social posts and coverage can start a governance or enforcement lead, but published copy requires official executive, standards, oversight, legislative, court, or enforcement records.
No guilt by proximity
A model, vendor, agency, or official appearing in the same governance lane is context only and does not prove a violation, a safety outcome, or responsibility for a policy.

The 2023 government-wide AI executive order, recorded on GovInfo. It is no longer in force after a January 2025 revocation.
The printed Federal Register text of Executive Order 14434, published October 2, 2026 at 91 FR 63129-63130, the publication date its public-inspection copy had scheduled. This desk compared the printed PDF with the public-inspection PDF filed October 1 word by word and found the same 687 words in the same order.
The 2025 replacement AI-policy executive order, directing a national AI action plan and a review of actions taken under EO 14110.
Executive Order 14432, dated at the White House September 29, 2026, filed for public inspection October 1 and printed October 2 at 91 FR 63121-63123. It directs the Administrator of General Services, in coordination with the National Design Studio and OMB, to establish and operate America.gov as the single point of entry for covered federal services online, with Login.gov as its authentication service, and makes it policy to 'ensure that super intelligence used in connection with America.gov is accurate, reliable, and transparent'. Covered services are public-facing federal services with more than 100,000 users in 12 months that can be accessed or applied for online, excluding IRS tax filing, Department of War services and elements of the Intelligence Community. OMB owes agencies an implementation memorandum within 90 days.
A bipartisan Senate bill proposing an AI innovation and accountability framework, referencing Commerce oversight and testing and evaluation standards. It was not enacted in the 118th Congress.
The statutory definition EO 14434 adopts for 'Super Intelligence' and 'SI'. Paragraph (3) defines artificial intelligence structurally — a machine-based system that, for a given set of human-defined objectives, makes predictions, recommendations or decisions influencing real or virtual environments, using machine and human-based inputs to perceive environments, abstract perceptions into models, and use model inference to formulate options. The definition states no threshold of capability, scale, autonomy, generality or comparison to a person. Its source credit is Public Law 116-283, division E, section 5002, enacted January 1, 2021, 134 Stat. 4523; the division's short title is the National Artificial Intelligence Initiative Act of 2020.
The three-page public-inspection copy of Executive Order 14434, dated at the White House September 29, 2026, filed for public inspection October 1 at 11:15 a.m. Eastern and scheduled to print in the Federal Register October 2. It directs executive departments and agencies, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to use 'Super Intelligence' and 'SI' in place of 'Artificial Intelligence' and 'AI' in non-statutory documents; defines the new terms, for now, as the technologies already defined as artificial intelligence in 15 U.S.C. 9401(3); and gives the Assistant to the President for Science and Technology 60 days to submit proposed legislative language for a federal definition. It sets no AI safety, standards, evaluation or procurement requirement.
The AI Action Plan required by EO 14179, setting out federal AI policy actions across three pillars.
TIGTA final audit report dated September 24, 2026 on how the IRS documents risk management and data quality for AI use cases it presumed high-impact under OMB Memorandum M-25-21, whose minimum practices were due by April 2026. Reviewing five deployed use cases, it found two without a documented impact assessment and four without testing documentation, and made two recommendations, both agreed to by the IRS.
CAISI's September 17, 2026 update assessing the cyber capabilities of GLM-5.3, a model the PRC-based company Z.ai released August 14, 2026 and whose weights it published two weeks later. CAISI evaluated GLM-5.3 on four benchmarks: SEC-Bench Pro, ExploitBench, ExploitGym (Userspace) and the private CAISI OSS-Fuzz. It compared the results with the best U.S. and PRC scores it has recorded and reported an aggregate 'cyber capability index' fitted with a one-parameter Item Response Theory model.
The inauguration-day rescission order whose revocation list expressly includes the 2023 AI executive order. This is the instrument that ended EO 14110's force.

TIGTA finds the IRS lacked impact assessments for two of five high-impact AI uses it reviewed under OMB M-25-21
The Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration reviewed five deployed AI use cases the IRS presumed high-impact, out of an inventory of 225. Two had no documented impact assessment, as OMB Memorandum M-25-21 requires, and four had no testing documentation for their data-quality checks, which IRS analytics staff said were completed. IRS analytics management said that as of July 2026 Treasury had not issued guidance on the minimum risk-management practices; the IRS built its own governance policy. TIGTA made two recommendations, which the IRS accepted.

CAISI publishes a cyber-capability assessment of Z.ai's open-weight GLM-5.3
CAISI at NIST published its assessment of GLM-5.3, released by the PRC-based company Z.ai on August 14, 2026, with weights made public two weeks later. CAISI calls it the most cyber-capable open-weight model released to date and estimates it lags the U.S. frontier by about four months on an aggregate cyber capability index. It scored 40.4% on SEC-Bench Pro, against a U.S. frontier best of 90.2%, and 61.1% on ExploitBench, against 100.0%. CAISI documents its method: a ReAct agent harness, maximum reasoning settings, and a one-parameter Item Response Theory index, with U.S. models tested with cyber safeguards disabled where applicable.

CAISI's Assessment of Z.ai's GLM-5.3 Cyber Capabilities
National Institute of Standards and Technology / Center for AI Standards and Innovation
CAISI's September 17, 2026 update assessing the cyber capabilities of GLM-5.3, a model the PRC-based company Z.ai released August 14, 2026 and whose weights it published two weeks later. CAISI evaluated GLM-5.3 on four benchmarks: SEC-Bench Pro, ExploitBench, ExploitGym (Userspace) and the private CAISI OSS-Fuzz. It compared the results with the best U.S. and PRC scores it has recorded and reported an aggregate 'cyber capability index' fitted with a one-parameter Item Response Theory model.
7 extracted facts
- CAISI states 'GLM-5.3 is the most cyber-capable open-weight model released to date.'
- CAISI states GLM-5.3 'lags the capability level of the U.S. frontier by about four months in an aggregate measure of performance across CAISI cyber benchmarks.'
- SEC-Bench Pro: GLM-5.3 40.4% (74/183), U.S. frontier best 90.2% (165/183), PRC frontier best 27.3% (50/183).
- ExploitBench: GLM-5.3 61.1% (9.8/16), U.S. frontier best 100.0% (16.0/16), PRC frontier best 32.2% (5.1/16).
- ExploitGym (Userspace): GLM-5.3 9.4% (47/498), U.S. frontier best 44.4% (223/502), PRC frontier best 2.6% (13/502); OSS-Fuzz: 7.7% (23/297), 23.2% (69/297), 2.4% (7/297).
- CAISI states models were evaluated 'as agents in a ReAct harness with bash, python, and a nudge to continue if stopped,' at maximum reasoning settings, and 'when applicable, U.S. models were tested with cyber safeguards disabled.'
- CAISI states a 400-point increase in its cyber capability index 'equates to a 10x increase in the statistical odds of solving tasks.'

Public sources ready to ingest
Import sources create source-run packets, document inventories, and review tokens. They do not publish accusations or graph relationships until the case-file evidence rules are satisfied.
baselineWhat the record currently supports
Claim rows are derived from timeline events and source anchors. They are evidence-status labels, not accusations or final truth claims.
What should be released next
Release requests are lawful public-record asks. They identify source gaps, review gates, and privacy constraints; they are not evidence that a specific person committed wrongdoing.
What stays unresolved
Deliberate gaps in the public record — open until the underlying records are released or reviewed, not questions we have skipped.

Every machine-readable slice of this file
How the public record is joined
Connections are navigation aids. They show where a record, event, or role is sourced; they do not convert association, correspondence, testimony requests, or document appearance into misconduct findings.
Scout queue before promotion
Default public-record source desk for cases without a hand-tuned scout profile.
Source leads and automated probes are review inventory. They become verified anchors only after Hugin can attach the public record, legal posture, and no-allegation guardrails.
Public-record joins are wired into exports
These are not loose TODOs anymore. Each lane below is computed from the case file's source tiers, then joined to matching sources, timeline events, role nodes, and release-roadmap requests.
Track new or amended AI executive orders and AI Action Plan implementation through GovInfo and White House records before saying federal AI policy changed.
Monitor NIST and CAISI records for evaluation reports, developer agreements, and standards initiatives.
Track FTC AI matters end to end using Federal Register consent notices and regulations.gov dockets, recording both openings and later set-asides.
Monitor GAO's AI topic for new reports and open or closed recommendation status.
Monitor congress.gov and GovInfo for AI-governance bills and oversight hearings across the 118th and 119th Congresses.
Build a citation-anchored index of AI executive orders, agency notices, and requests for information through GovInfo, since federalregister.gov blocks automated fetch.
Reconcile OECD.AI United States entries against U.S. primary records, including the observed EO 14179 signing-date discrepancy.
Help grow the source queue
Hugin accepts public records, not accusations. A submitted URL lands in a review lane, gets source-validated, and only becomes a case anchor after the evidence rules and privacy gates are satisfied.
What this case can prove right now
Fact-check status is a review posture, not a verdict. Source-scout rows are leads until a reviewer joins them to publishable anchors; claim-ledger rows are timeline-derived and still require source validation plus no-allegation guardrails before promotion.
Queue a public record
Paste an official or public-record URL. Hugin classifies the lane first, keeps lead-only material quarantined, and requires source validation before anything reaches the case file.
Queue a public source for review.Latest submitted public URLs
Sanitized queue view: Hugin shows the public URL, lane, status, and why a source has not been promoted. Submitter identifiers are not shown.
Submit sources, not claims
A source is a public URL someone else can inspect. A claim is an interpretation. Hugin queues sources first and keeps claims out until a reviewed public record supports the exact wording.
Official agency pages, court dockets, congressional releases, civil records, state updates, and public repositories with source URLs.
Publisher, date, record family, and why the URL belongs in this file.
Source URLs first. Context is welcome, but claims do not publish from submissions alone.
Private tips, survivor identifiers, sealed or leaked material, graphic details, and private contact data.
Screenshots or social posts without a public source URL.
Misconduct labels for living people unless the exact cited public record supports that exact statement.
