Comparing EU and U.S. State Laws on AI: A Checklist for Proactive Compliance


The global market for artificial intelligence is evolving under two very different legal paradigms. On one side, the European Union has enacted the AI Act, the first comprehensive and enforceable regulatory regime for AI, applicable across all member states and with far-reaching extraterritorial scope. On the other, the United States continues to advance AI oversight primarily at the state level, resulting in a patchwork of rules that vary in focus, definitions, and enforcement…

Ask a Data Ethicist: How Does the Use of AI Impact People’s Perceptions of You?


Last October, I wrote a column about the use of generative AI in producing a professional service. I pondered the question of whether or not others’ knowledge about the use of AI in producing a professional service – such as legal work, consulting, or creative work –  would devalue the service. My hypothesis was that […]
