Answers to Top Questions About the E.U. AI Act: Reach and Unique Requirements
The European Regulation on Artificial Intelligence, or E.U. AI Act (Act), was approved last month and is the world’s first comprehensive AI law. The Act lists extensive mandates for Big AI platforms and providers of high-risk systems but will require all companies with European customers to carefully assess the risks of their AI use. Despite the Act’s 113 chapters and 13 annexes, it lacks details on how to fulfill several crucial mandates. This two-part article series, including perspectives from experts at Luminos.law and Orrick, delivers answers to common questions about the Act. This first installment of the series addresses initial reactions among companies and delves into gray areas around requirements, such as those directed at training data, categorization of providers and deployers, and use of generative AI features. Part two will answer key questions about companies’ risk classifications and offer steps companies can take to prepare for the Act. See “AI Governance Strategies for Privacy Pros” (Apr. 17, 2024).

Common Law Fraud and SEC v. Jarkesy: The Key Issue Underlying the Questions Presented
In SEC v. Jarkesy, the U.S. Supreme Court (Court) is poised to determine the constitutionality of the SEC’s practice of enforcing the securities laws through administrative proceedings. How the Court will answer that question is unclear, but whatever the Court decides will have far-reaching implications. Beyond the obvious repercussions for SEC proceedings and the administrative state generally, the case also offers the Court a chance to weigh in on another significant question: What are the contours of common law fraud? This guest article by MoloLamken attorneys Eric R. Nitz and Kenneth E. Notter III discusses the proceedings before the Court, how the Court appears likely to rule and the implications the Court’s decision may have on SEC enforcement efforts – and fraud actions generally. See “Agency Power and Adjudication: The Government Seeks Supreme Court Review of Jarkesy v. SEC” (Jun. 21, 2023). Read full article …
