As is the case with most new technologies, the establishment of regulatory and compliance frameworks has lagged behind AI’s rise. This is set to change, however, as AI has caught the attention of federal and state regulators and oversight of AI is ramping up. 

In the absence of comprehensive federal legislation on AI, there is now a growing patchwork of various current and proposed AI regulatory frameworks at the state and local level.  Even with the federal bill uncertain, it is clear that momentum for AI regulation is at an all-time high.  Consequently, companies stepping into the AI stream, face an uncertain regulatory environment that must be closely monitored and evaluated to understand its impact on risk and the commercial potential of proposed use cases. 

To help companies achieve their business goals while minimizing regulatory risk, BCLP actively tracks the proposed and enacted AI regulatory bills from across the Unites States to enable our clients to stay informed in this rapidly-changing regulatory landscape.  The interactive map is updated regularly to include legislation that if passed would directly impact a business’s development or deployment of AI solutions.[2] Click the states to learn more.

We have also created an AI regulation tracker for the UK and EU to keep you informed in this rapidly changing regulatory landscape.

[2] We have also included laws addressing automated decision-making, because AI and automation are increasingly integrated, noting that not all automated decision-making systems involve AI, such businesses will need to understand how their particular systems are designed.  We have omitted biometric data, facial recognition, and sector-specific administrative laws.
