The global regulatory landscape for artificial intelligence is evolving rapidly, with the EU AI Act now in force and comparable frameworks emerging across North America, the United Kingdom, and the Asia-Pacific region. For technology companies operating across borders, building a coherent AI governance and compliance program has become a strategic imperative.
This Legal Update examines the key requirements of the principal AI regulatory frameworks, identifies common threads and divergences, and offers practical guidance for organizations seeking to establish proactive compliance programs.
Key topics covered include: risk classification under the EU AI Act; transparency and explainability requirements; data governance obligations; algorithmic impact assessments; liability frameworks; and enforcement mechanisms.
Our Intellectual Property and Technology practice is available to assist clients in assessing their AI systems against applicable regulatory requirements and designing effective governance structures.
