About the Program

Duane Morris has created a program series examining the business implications of executive orders and other policy changes developed by the new presidential administration. Join us in this upcoming program where we will host a cross-practice group discussion on critical AI developments impacting employment decisions, privacy policies, IP protection, vendor management and copyright trends. Our team will cover:

Federal Executive Order Update on AI:

• President Trump revoked President Biden’s EO 14110 and issued his own EO 14179, called “Removing Barriers to American Leadership in Artificial Intelligence”
• Among other things, EO 14179 promotes AI deregulation and repeals President Biden’s policies on AI equity, workforce protection, and safe and responsible innovation
• “AI Washing” and the risk of federal prosecution

Employment: 

• California: Pending AI regulations from California's Civil Rights Council and update on Workday AI case 
• Colorado: Compliance with Colorado’s 2024 law concerning “Consumer Protections in Interactions with Artificial Intelligence Systems”
• Illinois: August 2024 amendment to the Illinois Human Rights Act to cover certain employer decisions resulting from the use of AI
• New York: Governor Hochul recently announced a plan to require employers to disclose whether AI automation played a role in layoffs

Privacy (Employee & Consumer):

• Update on California Privacy Protection Agency pending regulations 
• Implementation of the EU AI Act and the road map ahead

Third Party AI Vendor Management:

• Artificial intelligence impact assessments and due diligence checklists for vendor contracts;
• Drafting pointers for data use and European privacy considerations
• Compliance obligations and disclosures

Copyright:

• Fallout from Thomson Reuters Enterprise Centre GmbH v. Ross Intelligence Inc. (rejecting AI company’s “fair use” defense under copyright law)
• “No fakes” statutory developments
