Treatment of Agentic AI Governance

Primary source: Exec. Order No. 14110, 88 Fed. Reg. 75191 (Nov. 1, 2023)
What this comparison shows
On the topic of Agentic AI Governance, EU AI Act is classified as implicit and Executive Order 14110 on Safe, Secure, Trustworthy AI as silent. The editorial verdict is asymmetric. One regime addresses the topic explicitly while the other covers it only implicitly or not at all; this is a likely site of regulatory arbitrage and a candidate for comparative-law follow-up.
Contested question: Should governance attach to the AGENT (multi-step actions, tool use, recursion) or to the model that powers it? Capability-tier vs action-tier frames are unresolved across jurisdictions.
