Agenda Day 2

3:40 PM PANEL DISCUSSION: EXPLORING UNCHARTED TERRITORY – WHAT WILL THE AI ACT OF THE US LOOK LIKE?

While the EU passed its AI Act in March 2024, the US has experienced somewhat of a complicated start regarding regulation on AI. With President Biden’s Executive Order in October 2023 and Colorado’s first in the nation AI law in May 2024, as well as the USPTO and FDA releasing their own guidance about the use of AI, the regulatory landscape is blurry for companies who are eager to trial but worried about compliance and ethics without the necessary laws to follow. The question, then, becomes how companies can push ahead with innovation and documentation whilst remaining compliant, ethical and respectful of customer and employee data.


  • Discuss as a group what the AI Act of the US will look like, when and if it comes into effect, in order to best prepare your business to move forward
  • Hone in on current regulations and laws, their effects on your company, and best practices to comply and work in line with legal expectations
  • Hear your peers’ approaches to using AI without regulatory framework, and what you can do to ensure compliance and ethical use of AI
