GSA Issues Proposed AI Contract Clause, Seeks Feedback

The General Services Administration (GSA) is seeking public comment on a new GSA Regulation clause, 552.239-7001, Basic Safeguarding of Data within Large Language Model Artificial Intelligence Systems (LLMs), governing data safeguards and requirements prime contractors must comply with when providing or using LLMs under federal contracts.

Synthetic Performers, Real Consequences: Implications of Trailblazing New York AI Ad Law

On December 11, 2025, New York Governor Kathy Hochul signed S.8420-A/A.8887-B into law.

For the first time in any U.S. jurisdiction, the mere use of an AI-generated human likeness in a commercial advertisement triggers an affirmative disclosure obligation. The practical implications are significant, particularly for e-commerce retailers, digital advertisers, and agencies that have integrated AI-generated human imagery into high-volume creative workflows.

EU Artificial Intelligence Act

On June 13, 2024, the European Union (EU) adopted the Artificial Intelligence Act (EU AI Act), making it the first-ever global law to regulate the use of artificial intelligence in a broad and horizontal manner.
