Artificial Intelligence (AI)

On June 3, the European Commission published its Tech Sovereignty Package, a set of legislative and policy initiatives designed to address what the Commission characterizes as Europe’s technological dependencies on non-European suppliers. The Package marks a further step in the evolution of the EU’s technology policy, with initiatives spanning the full tech stack—from chips and infrastructure to software, cloud, and artificial intelligence. Through this “ecosystem” approach, the Commission seeks to reduce supply-side dependencies by strengthening domestic capabilities in Europe and stimulating demand in downstream sectors.

The Package comprises four components: two legislative proposals—(i) the Cloud and AI Development Act (CADA), and (ii) the Chips Act 2.0—as well as two non-legislative initiatives—(iii) the EU Open Source Strategy and (iv) a Strategic Roadmap for Digitalisation and AI in Energy.

Earlier this month, the Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), in collaboration with the National Security Agency and other international partners, released guidance for organizations on adopting agentic artificial intelligence systems (i.e., systems composed of one or more agents that fundamentally rely on an AI model, such as an LLM, to interpret and reason about the state of the world and can autonomously make decisions and take actions). The guidance highlights the primary security risks and challenges linked to agentic AI and offers practical guidance for safely designing, implementing, and managing these systems.

On May 1, the Connecticut legislature passed an artificial intelligence (“AI”) safety, transparency, and consumer protection bill (“SB 5”). While the Colorado legislature takes steps to streamline existing requirements for developers and deployers of AI systems, Connecticut has passed a multi-part framework that will impose requirements on large frontier developers…

On April 28, 2026, Maryland Governor Moore signed HB 895 (the Protection From Predatory Pricing Act) into law, which will impose limitations on the use of personalized pricing in the food retail and grocery delivery context.  The law will go into effect on October 1, 2026.  As we have detailed in prior blog posts, there has been a wave of personalized pricing proposals at the state level, and the FTC is focusing attention on pricing in the grocery sector.

On May 8, 2026, the European Commission (“Commission”) published draft guidelines (“Guidelines”) on the implementation of the transparency obligations under Article 50 of the EU Artificial Intelligence Act (“AI Act”), opening a targeted consultation that runs until June 3, 2026.

The Guidelines are non-binding, but they are the first Commission instrument to provide interpretive guidance across the full scope of Article 50. They were prepared in parallel with the related, but more narrowly scoped, Code of Practice on Transparency of AI-Generated Content (“Code of Practice” or “Code”), the second draft of which was published on March 5, 2026.

On May 7, the Colorado Senate passed SB 189, a bill that would repeal and replace the state’s Colorado AI Act enacted in 2024 and scheduled to take effect on June 30, 2026. If enacted, SB 189 would replace the current framework with a narrower statute focusing primarily on…

On April 30, 2026, the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee unanimously advanced S. 3062, the Guidelines for User Age-verification and Responsible Dialogue Act of 2025 (the “GUARD Act”), marking a significant development in federal efforts to regulate certain uses of artificial intelligence (AI) involving minors. The bill now awaits consideration by the full Senate.

Senators Hawley (R-MO) and Blumenthal (D-CT) introduced the legislation in October 2025, and a bipartisan group of seventeen senators are cosponsors. The legislation focuses on regulating AI chatbots that are publicly available to consumers, with particular attention to the risks associated with use by minors under the age of eighteen.

EU Member States are currently designing two possible new Important Projects of Common European Interest (“IPCEIs”) to support the development of AI and compute infrastructure in the EU (together the “Digital IPCEIs”), subject to European Commission (“Commission”) approval.

On 10 March 2026, the “matchmaking” phase under the IPCEI on Artificial Intelligence (“IPCEI-AI”) was officially launched in Berlin. It brings together companies whose AI projects have been pre-selected through national calls for expressions of interest (“CEIs”) in each participating Member State. Its objective is to form European consortia eligible for State co-funding under the IPCEI-AI. National CEIs in 17 participating Member States are now closed; Finland and Lithuania are still expected to launch their CEIs.

A second digital IPCEI on Compute Infrastructure Continuum (“IPCEI-CIC”) was launched in late 2025 by 15 Member States. Several of these participating Member States – including Belgium, Croatia, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Romania, Slovakia, and Spain – have not yet launched their CEIs.
