Upcoming Virtual Forum: Navigating AI Regulations and Governance
Bloomberg Law is set to host a pivotal virtual In-House Forum on May 1, 2025, from 1 to 3 p.m. ET, focusing on the complexities of artificial intelligence regulations and governance. Titled "Navigating AI Regulations & Governance," this event is designed to provide in-house legal and compliance professionals with the understanding and tools necessary to effectively navigate the rapidly evolving landscape of AI regulation.
As the pressure to innovate and regulate intensifies, legal teams must stay informed on the shifting policies. The forum occurs at a crucial juncture, following recent executive directives from the Trump administration that emphasize prioritizing AI development as a national objective. With the rollout of the EU's comprehensive AI Act and a wave of state-level AI policies, the landscape presents a series of challenges and opportunities for businesses.
Attendees will delve into key insights concerning both federal and state policies, as well as international standards and trends in enforcement that are shaping the governance frameworks of AI deployments. The forum will begin with a keynote discussion featuring Tom Lue, Vice President for Frontier AI Global Affairs at Google DeepMind, who will discuss the intersection of regulation and innovation.
The event will also include a panel featuring legislators from various states—Colorado, Virginia, Utah, California, Texas, New York, and Connecticut—sharing their states' approaches to AI regulation. Participants will explore the intricate web of existing and proposed state laws.
Additionally, attendees can expect a fireside chat with Kilian Gross, Head of the AI Regulation and Compliance Unit at the European Commission. This discussion will highlight vital components of the EU AI Act and clarify expectations regarding enforcement strategies. The closing panel will focus on how the EU regulations will impact U.S. businesses, offering insights on compliance requirements and risk mitigation strategies essential for avoiding significant financial and reputational risks.
Bobby Puglia, the Chief Product Officer at Bloomberg Industry Group, emphasizes the critical nature of this forum. He states, "The dynamic of AI and machine learning is altering the innovation landscape. However, we must question whether the existing regulations are conducive to or obstructive of this progress." Attendees can anticipate an examination of whether contemporary regulations serve to nurture or hinder innovation, alongside discussions on strategies for enhancing AI literacy across organizations and legal teams.

- - Giovanni Capriglione, State Representative (R), Texas
