Federal Policy

Federal policy encompasses regulations, laws, and executive directives established at the national government level that govern AI development, deployment, and use across industries and organizations. These policies set mandatory compliance standards, establish enforcement mechanisms through federal agencies, and create the legal framework within which enterprises must operate their AI systems. For AI governance and compliance, federal policy is critical because it defines legal requirements, liability frameworks, and industry standards that organizations must incorporate into their AI governance programs to avoid penalties and ensure regulatory alignment.
