Answer.

Federal directive · EO 14179.

The AI Action Plan is the policy program flowing from EO 14179, emphasizing American AI leadership and lighter-touch regulation rather than prescriptive private-sector testing rules. Concrete, enforceable testing and monitoring duties for federal AI use come from OMB M-25-21 (high-impact minimum practices), not the Plan itself. Because policy here is moving, treat specifics as subject to change; Planisphere measures model behaviour against a fixed probe set regardless of which policy frame is current.
