US Executive Order on AI: Regulatory impact, preemption risks, and what comes next

This session will examine the EO’s core directives, how federal agencies may interpret and implement them, and what this shift could mean for organizations overseeing AI governance, privacy, and compliance programs. 

Attendees will learn:

• How the Executive Order may rebalance federal and state authority in AI regulation
  
• Which types of state laws and regulatory models may come under federal review or legal challenge 
  
• How potential FCC and FTC actions could influence national standards for AI reporting, disclosures, and model oversight 
• What organizations should prioritize to stay aligned with evolving federal expectations and prepare for increased regulatory coordination 

While the Executive Order signals a shift toward a revised federal approach, it’s not yet enforceable law, and organizations cannot afford to wait. Global AI regulations in the EU, UK, Brazil, South Korea, and other jurisdictions are already in effect, creating complex compliance demands that won’t pause for US timelines. This session will help you understand what to prioritize amid uncertainty: how to build resilient governance frameworks, harmonize oversight across teams, and stay ahead of evolving standards. Proactive governance isn’t optional; it’s the foundation for trust, compliance, and operational agility in a rapidly changing regulatory landscape.
