No single law will “solve” AI, but regulators around the world are actively experimenting. For organizations that rely on AI, the biggest risk is ignoring these conversations until it is too late.

Emerging themes in AI and deepfake law

  • Transparency: Requirements to label AI-generated or AI-assisted content.
  • Accountability: Clear assignment of responsibility when automated systems cause harm.
  • Data protection: Alignment with existing privacy and consumer protection rules.

What organizations can do today

You don’t need perfect foresight to start preparing. Build internal inventories of where AI is used, assign owners, and document the purpose and limitations of each system.

When a project touches elections, minors, financial decisions, or biometric data, treat it as high-risk and invest extra in testing, red-teaming, and human oversight.
