US Federal Legislation

US federal legislation covers bills passed by Congress and signed into law that govern how artificial intelligence is developed, deployed, and overseen across the United States. Unlike the patchwork of state rules, federal statutes set nationwide obligations and can preempt conflicting state requirements, so compliance teams need to track both enacted laws and pending bills that could shift their obligations. Monitoring this category helps general counsel and risk managers anticipate new reporting duties, procurement conditions, and liability exposure before they take effect.

Delaware's AI Company Structure Would Shield Humans From AI-Driven Liability

Delaware is advancing a proposal to create an Artificial Intelligence Company (AIC). This new corporate structure allows AI agents to fully manage business operations with no human required to make decisions. Human members who fund an AIC would be insulated from liability for AI-driven harms, except in cases of fraud or willful legal violations. US House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer has raised objections, warning the structure could enable liability evasion and signaling possible federal legislation to limit state AI regulatory authority.
