The AI Drop™ #27: On the Front Lines: Tracking AI Regulation From California to New York with Meg...

California and New York are taking different approaches to AI oversight, but both reflect a shift toward more active regulation. Host (https://www.freshfields.com/en/find-a...) Anna Gressel (https://www.freshfields.com/en/find-a...) welcomes back Freshfields partner (https://www.freshfields.com/en/find-a...) Megan Kayo (https://www.freshfields.com/en/find-a...) to share key takeaways from PLI’s first AI governance event in New York, which Anna chaired. The event featured keynote fireside chats with two leading state regulators, offering a view from the front lines of AI regulation in California and New York. Megan shares insights from her conversation with Sabrina Ross, Chief Privacy Auditor at CalPrivacy, on California's new automated decision-making rules and cybersecurity risk assessments, and on why compliance responsibility stays with the business, not its vendors. Anna discusses her conversation with Kaitlin Asrow, Acting Superintendent of the New York Department of Financial Services (“DFS”), about the RAISE Act and DIGIT, DFS’s new frontier AI office. Anna and Megan also explore New York City’s latest AI proposals and California’s wave of new AI laws. Against this increasingly complex patchwork of state requirements, the episode offers businesses a timely look at where AI regulation is heading and what to watch next.   IConnect and Learn More ☑️ (https://www.freshfields.com/en/find-a...)
