EU AI Act Enforcement Phase Begins
On August 2, 2026, the European Commission (EC), acting through its European AI Office (EU AI Office), became formally entitled to exercise its powers to investigate and enforce the EU AI Act obligations imposed on providers of general-purpose artificial intelligence (GPAI) models, as well as rules on prohibited AI practices. These powers are significant and include requesting information and documentation, obtaining access to models for evaluation, requiring corrective or risk-mitigation measures, and imposing fines of up to the higher of €15 million or 3 percent of the provider’s worldwide annual turnover.

Illinois Enacts AI Safety and Transparency Law for Frontier AI Developers
On July 6, 2026, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker signed into law Senate Bill 315, the Artificial Intelligence Safety Measures Act (AISMA), which will require large AI developers to publicly disclose how they plan to mitigate potentially “catastrophic risks” posed by advanced frontier AI models. In a first for a U.S. state AI law, AISMA also requires covered entities to retain independent auditors to assess their compliance. The Illinois legislature otherwise largely modeled AISMA after California’s Transparency in Frontier Artificial Intelligence Act (TFAIA) (discussed in a prior alert) and New York’s Responsible AI Safety and Education Act (RAISE Act). AISMA’s provisions will become effective in two waves, with most provisions effective January 1, 2027, and AI framework and independent audit provisions effective January 1, 2028.

Draft Guidelines Clarify Which AI Systems Are “High-Risk” Under EU AI Act
The European Commission has published draft guidelines (Draft Guidelines) to clarify the classification of high-risk AI systems under the European Union's Artificial Intelligence Act (EU AI Act).

The Draft Guidelines provide general principles which inform if an AI system is high-risk, as well as a non-exhaustive list of examples of high-risk AI systems across various sectors. Organizations can provide feedback on the Draft Guidelines via this survey until June 23, 2026.

While the EU Artificial Intelligence (AI) Act has set forth a relatively uniform framework for AI regulation in the EU, U.S. AI regulation has so far primarily consisted of a patchwork of state laws—which continue to evolve at a rapid pace. Despite the Trump administration calling for Congress to pass AI legislation that would preempt overly burdensome state laws in its National Policy Framework for Artificial Intelligence, many states appear to be actively moving ahead with new legislation. Here are the top areas the states are targeting, followed by some key takeaways:
