International: A Comparative Analysis of High-Risk AI Laws

Woods Rogers Cybersecurity & Privacy team members Beth Waller, Patrick Austin, Ross Broudy, Phillip Harmon, and John Pilch provide a compelling comparative analysis for OneTrust’s DataGuidance, examining how jurisdictions around the world are tackling the regulation of high-risk AI systems.

Their article breaks down key similarities and differences across several enacted and proposed laws, including the EU AI Act, South Korea’s Basic Act on AI, and Colorado’s AI Act. This timely piece offers a clear, insightful look into the evolving global AI landscape, essential reading for legal, compliance, and tech professionals.

“The AI regulatory landscape remains unsettled,” the authors write. “It remains to be seen whether other jurisdictions and additional states in the US will adopt risk-based AI frameworks or take a different approach. Without specific federal AI legislation, the regulatory landscape around high-risk AI systems remains in flux and could change dramatically in the years ahead, depending on how various states choose to regulate AI.”
