A Comparative Analysis of High-Risk AI Laws

Woods Rogers Cybersecurity & Privacy team members Beth Waller, Patrick Austin, Ross Broudy, and John Pilch provide an overview of high-risk AI laws in the United States, the EU, and South Korea, focusing on regulatory requirements and proposed state legislation for OneTrust’s Data Guidance.

“Tailored regulatory frameworks governing high-risk artificial intelligence (AI) systems modeled after the European Union Artificial Intelligence Act (the EUAI Act) are taking shape internationally and in the US at the state level,” the authors noted. “Although these so-called high-risk AI laws, such as the Colorado AI Act, are largely similar to the EU AI Act, there are some key distinctions in terms of applicability, required documentation, and other regulatory requirements. Generally, 'high-risk' AI systems are those that are used to make, or assist in making, consequential decisions carrying a material impact on individuals in certain contexts.”
