"The speed of AI development gets most of the headlines, but the law is running a race of its own. Legislators and regulators are releasing new rules at a pace that can surprise even the most seasoned compliance teams. For in-house counsel, this creates a constant challenge: how to give sound, forward-looking advice when the ground under your feet is shifting."
"Unlike more-established areas of technology law, AI regulation is in a period of constant motion. The EU AI Act is nearing implementation. States like California and Colorado are experimenting with their own frameworks. Sector-specific guidance is emerging for industries from healthcare to finance. Meanwhile, countries in Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America are rolling out policies tailored to their markets. A product that meets every legal requirement at the time of launch may still face new obligations before its first update."
AI regulatory frameworks are evolving rapidly across jurisdictions and sectors, creating recurring compliance obligations for products both at launch and post-release. Legislatures and regulators in the EU, U.S. states, and regions across Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America are issuing laws, frameworks, and sector-specific guidance. Continuous compliance requires systems to track legislative proposals, draft regulations, and enforcement trends through automated alerts, external advisors, and engagement in industry policymaking groups. Embedding legal counsel in early-stage product planning enables design-stage consideration of shifting obligations, allowing development teams to adapt midstream without losing momentum.
