A discussion of the accelerating AI regulatory landscape, from the EU AI Act to Colorado's CAIA, California's SB 942, and hundreds of AI-related bills in the US Congress.
2024 has been the year of regulators in AI. From the EU AI Act to Colorado's CAIA and California's SB 942, governments are stepping up their scrutiny. There were 200+ bills in the US Congress mentioning the term AI.

The roundtable checked on what's been happening, where this is all going, and how to think about AI governance in the media industry.
