Description
Over the past year or so, U.S. states have proposed and enacted a variety of state AI laws, making it challenging for companies to ensure compliance within the U.S. As state laws continue to emerge, the current administrative announced its new AI Action Plan in July 2025. While the Action Plan is not binding, it does recommend certain actions that federal agencies are to consider. Further, three executive orders were issued that are in line with the Action Plan.
The EU AI Act went into effect in August 2024. It is a comprehensive legal framework for AI and has far-reaching implications. The law establishes a set of risk-based rules applicable to all parties and roles in the AI ecosystem including developers, exporters, importers, deployers, and distributors.
The UK parliament reintroduced its Artificial Intelligence Bill in March 2025, signaling the ongoing concern and desire for oversight. The government has taken a pro-innovation approach, which was set forth in its AI Opportunities Action Plan in January 2025, and a sector-specific approach.
Other countries are jumping in to regulate AI as well. For example, China has been very active in rolling out AI regulations over the past few years, including regulation of generative AI. Brazil's proposed AI regulation has been approved by its Senate and is awaiting approval by its House of Representatives.
Listen as our authoritative panel explores the EU AI Act's regulatory framework, summarizes key points U.S. organizations need to understand, and provides practical steps for ensuring compliance with complex regulatory frameworks.
