AI Practice Group: US Firm Focus:

Will US AI regulation be the shape of the emerging global AI legal system?

The Guardian recently reported: “US AI policy looks less like abdication and more like a redefinition of where regulation occurs: light touch at the surface, iron grip at the core.” In upcoming AI PG calls, we’ll look at the ‘light touch’ new US state laws on Automated Decision Making (ADM), identity and data protections for consumers, and AI safety and transparency obligations for producers. US firms should especially get ready.

4^th November at 2.30 pm UK BST:

New York (Jessica Lipson, Morrison Cohen) with an overview of New York’s recent automated decision-making (ADM) laws: (1) the Legislative Oversight of ADM in Government (LOADinG) Act and related NYS OITS policy and guidance; (2) the Algorithmic Pricing Disclosure Act; (3) the amendments to the New York Real Estate Law banning landlords from using algorithmic rent coordination/fixing; (4) NYDFS Insurance Circular Letter on AI and external consumer data in underwriting and pricing; and (5) the proposed Responsible AI Safety & Education Act (RAISE Act).  

Texas (Michael C. Smith, Scheef & Stone) on H.B. 149 (TRAIGA, Texas Responsible Artificial Intelligence Governance Act). Passed late May, signed June 2025, effective Jan 1, 2026. Establishes guardrails primarily for government use, disclosure duties, prohibited uses such as social scoring, civil penalties, and certain biometric and data limits.
