# OMB issues federal agency AI governance and risk-management guidance

> OMB Memorandum M-24-10 directed U.S. federal agencies to establish AI governance, manage risks, publish inventories, and apply safeguards for safety-impacting and rights-impacting uses. It is binding guidance for covered federal agencies, with controls, timelines, accountability, and reporting mechanisms that differ from private-sector practice for covered uses.
