Governor Pritzker signed the bill on 2026-08-07 as Public Act 104-0805. As previously tracked, the enacted text contains no AI or algorithmic-pricing provisions, so no AI obligation exists under this bill number.
The bill introduced by Reps. Lieu and Moran on 2026-07-23 has been indexed as H.R. 9917 and referred to the House Committee on Homeland Security. No change to lifecycle or substantive obligations.
The row cited SI 2026/82 as the commencement instrument for section 138 (non-consensual deepfake creation/request offences). The correct instrument is SI 2026/31 (Commencement No. 5 Regulations 2026); SI 2026/82 (Commencement No. 6) instead commences the separate automated decision-making reform tracked under uk-duaa-adm. The in-force date of 2026-02-06 is unchanged.
Senate Floor Amendment No. 1 (adopted 2026-05-21) had added the algorithmic rental-price-coordination ban this row tracks, but House Committee Amendment No. 1 (adopted 2026-05-29) replaced that content entirely with unrelated Cook County / Calumet City eminent-domain provisions. The bill sent to Gov. Pritzker on 2026-06-30 contains no AI provisions. Confidence raised to high now that the current bill text is confirmed; status_note updated to explain the amendment history. No AI obligation currently exists under this bill number.
The row's status_note previously flagged the effective date as unconfirmed pending Rhode Island Legislature source review. Secondary reporting on the enacted law confirms the act took effect upon passage on June 22, 2026, matching the date already tracked. Status note updated to remove the TBD language; no change to the tracked date or lifecycle.
Article 50 (chatbot transparency and synthetic-media disclosure) and Article 101 (GPAI fining powers) took effect on August 2, 2026 as scheduled. Both obligations transitioned from dateset to force.
SB 942 (as amended by AB 853) took effect August 2, 2026, requiring GenAI providers with >1M monthly users to offer an AI-detection tool and content provenance disclosures.
Added new entry for AB 853, which extends the California AI Transparency Act duties to large online platforms and device manufacturers. Phase 1 (AI detection tools, manifest disclosures) is in force from August 2, 2026; Phase 2 (additional large-platform obligations) activates January 1, 2027.
The row cited the as-introduced bill text (LC003227), which lacks the AG-reporting and penalty language reflected in the row's status_note. The enacted version is Substitute A. Source updated to the Substitute A PDF; no change to the tracked date, lifecycle, or facts, which already matched the enacted text.
The row previously cited an English-language gov.cn news writeup. The Cyberspace Administration of China has published the authoritative Chinese-language full text of the AI Agent Standardized Application and Innovative Development Implementation Opinions on its own domain. Source updated to the CAC original and confidence raised from medium to high; no change to the tracked date or substance.
UK Parliament's Bills API confirms the Bill remains at first reading in the House of Lords with no progress since introduction. DSIT's published Blueprint for AI Regulation favours an AI Growth Lab / sector-sandbox approach over government-sponsored AI legislation, corroborating the existing assessment that the Bill is unlikely to advance as drafted. Confidence raised from medium to high; no change to the tracked facts or dates.
Three obligations identified as coverage gaps and added to the register. UK: the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 automated decision-making reform (ss.22A-22D of the UK GDPR, in force 5 February 2026 by SI 2026/82), which replaces the Art. 22 default prohibition with notification, representation, human-review and contest duties. UK: DUAA 2025 s.138, in force 6 February 2026, which inserts ss.66E-66H into the Sexual Offences Act 2003 and criminalises creating or requesting a non-consensual intimate deepfake even where it is never shared — distinct from the Crime and Policing Act 2026 offences, which target tool suppliers. China: the CAC/NDRC/MIIT AI Agents Implementation Opinions of 8 May 2026.
Illinois SB 343 amends the Illinois Antitrust Act to ban algorithmic coordination of rental prices. It passed the 104th General Assembly and is on Governor Pritzker's desk with a 29 August 2026 action deadline, so it is tracked as proposed with no effective date. Four of the five companion AI bills have been signed; SB 343 had not been as of 28 July 2026.
Three rows carried topic tags that no theme page defines and were therefore untagged and unreachable from any topic: the NJ FAIR Act, Maryland's Protection From Predatory Pricing Act and Illinois SB 343. All three ban a use of an algorithm outright, so they now sit under Prohibited AI practices, and that page covers the price-coordination family. Separately, UK DUAA 2025 s.138 was scoped to deployers, though the offence binds any person in the UK who creates or requests a non-consensual intimate deepfake; it is now scoped to everyone. No dates, sources or facts changed.
The row previously cited the RAISE Act as S1169-A. The bill actually signed into law by Governor Hochul on 19 December 2025 is S6953-B/A6453-B. The tracked effective date (1 January 2027) is unaffected.
The row previously cited the automated decision-making transparency duty as APP 1.3. The Privacy and Other Legislation Amendment Act 2024 (Cth), Schedule 1, cl.88 actually inserts the new duty as APP 1.7-1.9, per the Federal Register of Legislation text and the ATO Legal Database. The 10 December 2026 commencement date is unaffected.
An official Korea Policy Briefing (korea.kr) release directly quotes MSIT confirming an at-least-one-year fines grace period running from the AI Basic Act's 22 January 2026 effective date. Confidence raised from medium to high; no other fields changed.
An official Georgia Senate press release confirms SB 540's 1 July 2027 effective date. Confidence raised from medium to high; no other fields changed.
The row previously carried a placeholder status note pending confirmation of the effective date. Law-firm trackers citing the enacted text (R.I. Gen. Laws ch. 23-106) confirm it was signed 22 June 2026 and is effective upon passage. Status note updated and confidence raised from medium to high.
Primary-source review found that Senate amendments adopted 14 April 2026 stripped SB 1700's original companion-chatbot safety restrictions before passage. As signed (Public Chapter 1082), the law only directs TACIR to study potential AI/chatbot regulation, with no report deadline and no compliance obligation on AI operators. The row is corrected to reflect this; it no longer carries a 2027-01-01 compliance date.
The row previously used the 22 June 2026 signing date as a placeholder pending confirmation. Primary and corroborating legislative-tracking sources confirm the Act's general effective date is 1 January 2027, with the separate annual AG reporting duty beginning 1 July 2027. Date and lifecycle updated accordingly.
The row previously flagged the penalty amount and enforcement mechanism as unverified. Washington legislative bill reports confirm the law (Chapter 167, Laws of 2026) is enforced exclusively by the state Attorney General under the Consumer Protection Act (ch. 19.86 RCW), with civil penalties up to $100,000 per covered provider.
The Digital Omnibus amending the AI Act was published in the Official Journal as Regulation (EU) 2026/1744, ending the period in which the original Article 113 dates stood pending publication. Three tracked entries move off 'proposed' to fixed future application dates: the Annex III high-risk obligations are deferred to 2 December 2027, the Annex I product-embedded high-risk obligations to 2 August 2028, and the new Article 5 prohibition covering AI-generated CSAM and intimate imagery applies from 2 December 2026.
Coverage expands across the deepfake and digital-replica cluster: Washington's Forged Digital Likeness Protection Act (SB 5886) and AI Content Disclosure Act (HB 1170), Hawaii's Deepfake Protection and Synthetic Performer Disclosure law (HB 2137 / Act 247), New York's Synthetic Performer Disclosure Law (S.8420-A) and Deceased Performer Digital Replica Consent Law (S.8391), and Maryland's Deepfake Identity Fraud law (SB 8 / Ch. 445). Each row links to its enacted text.
The 2026 US state session produced a dense cluster of conversational-AI statutes, now tracked in full. The common core is disclosure that the system is not human, a protocol when a conversation turns to self-harm, and additional safeguards for minors — in Hawaii (Act 248), Iowa (SF 2417), Washington (HB 2225), Oregon (SB 1546), Georgia (SB 540), Colorado (HB 26-1263), Idaho (SB 1297), Rhode Island (S 2195), Nebraska (LB 525), Connecticut (SB 5) and Tennessee (SB 1700). A second line addresses AI in mental-health care: Tennessee SB 1580, Rhode Island H 7349, Colorado HB 26-1195. Three new theme pages cover this material.
A near-uniform rule runs through this group: an algorithm may inform a coverage decision but may not be its sole basis, with licensed human review before an adverse determination. Washington SB 5395, Iowa HF 2635, Alabama SB 63, Georgia SB 444 and Colorado HB 26-1139 carry the human-review requirement; Maryland HB 820 adds quarterly regulator audits; Utah SB 319 and Indiana HB 1271 add disclosure of AI use; Illinois SB 3114 extends the logic to claim downcoding; and Rhode Island H 7538 covers AI transcription in the clinic. A new Healthcare theme page groups them.
Illinois' Artificial Intelligence Safety Measures Act (SB 315), New Jersey's FAIR Act banning algorithmic rent-setting (A3497/S451), California's AB 2148 requiring K-12 school employees and contractors to be natural persons, Illinois' SB 2909 restricting AI in teacher evaluation, and Maryland's HB 895 on surveillance and predatory pricing. Algorithmic pricing is now tracked across two jurisdictions but does not yet have its own theme page.
Vietnam's Decision 33 publishes a list of 46 high-risk AI systems, applicable 15 August 2026. Australia's automated decision-making transparency requirement under the Privacy Act reforms is tracked as a separate row. On the EU side, the Annex I product-embedded high-risk obligations are now a distinct entry from Annex III, and Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026/1755 sets out the GPAI enforcement and investigation procedures, applicable from 10 August 2026.
The Interim Measures for the Administration of Anthropomorphic Artificial Intelligence Interaction Services entered into force on 15 July 2026, confirmed from the Digital Policy Alert primary-source record. Lifecycle updated from 'dateset' to 'force'; status note updated to reflect in-force date.
The 30-day public consultation on proposed amendments to DIFC Data Protection Regulation 10 (strengthening AI/autonomous-system certification and the Autonomous Systems Officer role) and the new Regulation 11 (Commissioner accreditation powers), launched 18 June 2026 under Consultation Paper No. 3 of 2026, closed on 18 July 2026. The final amended regulations are pending adoption. Status note updated to reflect the closed consultation.
As of July 2026, PL 2338/2023 remains in the Chamber of Deputies' Special Commission on Artificial Intelligence (rapporteur: Deputy Aguinaldo Ribeiro, PP-PB) awaiting the rapporteur's formal opinion; the bill has not been voted on. The Camara's official tracking page shows status 'Aguardando Parecer do Relator(a)' with no scheduled plenary date. Status note updated to reflect the current committee stage and expected timeline.
The chapter amendment to the RAISE Act (signed 27 March 2026) restructured incident reporting: Critical Safety Incident reports now go to a new office within NYDFS (not the AG or DHSES), and NYDFS has discretion to share them with the AG and other governmental entities. The summary previously stated 'NY AG/DHSES'; corrected to reflect that NYDFS is the primary recipient of 72h reports, with the AG retaining civil-penalty enforcement authority.
The Council of the EU formally adopted the Digital Omnibus AI simplification package on 29 June 2026 (Parliament adopted 16 June 2026). The regulation will be published in the Official Journal in July 2026 and enters into force 3 days after publication. Upon entry into force: the deferral of Annex III (standalone) high-risk AI obligations to 2 December 2027 takes legal effect; the new Art. 5 prohibition on AI-generated CSAM and non-consensual intimate imagery applies from 2 December 2026; and the Art. 50(2) marking deferral for pre-August 2026 systems to 2 December 2026 is confirmed. Status notes updated to reflect completed inter-institutional adoption; confidence raised from low to medium as OJ publication is the sole remaining step.
Primary law text (Art. 35, Law 134/2025/QH15) confirms a 12-month grace period for all sectors (compliance to 1 March 2027) and an 18-month grace period specifically for health, education and finance sectors (compliance to 1 September 2027). Implementing Decree 142/2026/ND-CP, effective 1 May 2026, provides procedural details. With the Law and its implementing decree both in force and confirmed from the official English law translation, confidence for both obligations is upgraded from medium to high. The vn-ai-law-risk status note is updated to specify the September 2027 endpoint for health/education/finance sectors.
The CAC and four co-regulators (NDRC, MIIT, MPS, SAMR) jointly issued the Interim Measures for the Management of Anthropomorphic Interactive Services of Artificial Intelligence on 10 April 2026, effective 15 July 2026. The Measures require providers to disclose AI identity to users, prohibit virtual intimate relationships for minors under 14, mandate addiction-monitoring and emotion-management systems, and impose usage-time warnings after two consecutive hours. This is China's first dedicated regulation targeting AI companion and emotionally interactive services.
MeitY notified the IT (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Amendment Rules, 2026 (G.S.R. 120(E)) on 10 February 2026; the rules came into force on 20 February 2026. The amendment introduces a statutory 'synthetically generated information' (SGI) definition, mandates provenance-metadata labels on AI-generated content, and tightens the government-ordered takedown window from 36 hours to 3 hours (2 hours for CSAM and non-consensual intimate imagery). The obligation date has been updated from 2025-11-15 to 2026-02-20 to reflect the current operative version, and the source URL updated to the 2026 MeitY notification.
On 18 Jun 2026 the DIFC Commissioner announced a 30-day consultation on proposed amendments to the Data Protection Regulations. The proposed changes strengthen Regulation 10 (certification obligations for autonomous/AI systems and the Autonomous Systems Officer role) and introduce a new Regulation 11 empowering the Commissioner to recognise external accreditation schemes. Regulation 10 itself remains in force; general certification guidance is still pending. Status note updated to reflect the open consultation.
The AI Office published the final General-Purpose AI Code of Practice on 10 July 2025; the European Commission and AI Board confirmed it as an adequate compliance tool under Art. 53. With the final CoP in place and GPAI enforcement via Art. 101 beginning 2 August 2026, the residual uncertainty that drove the 'medium' rating is resolved. Confidence updated to high.
The chapter amendment to the RAISE Act (S1169-A) was signed 27 March 2026, finalising the law's text after the original signing on 19 December 2025. With both the original signing and the chapter amendment confirmed, the 1 January 2027 effective date is legally settled and federal preemption has not materialised. Confidence updated from medium to high.
MSIT indicated a one-year enforcement grace period beginning on the Act's effective date of 22 January 2026. Both obligation rows previously stated the grace period ran 'through ~2026', which understates the window; the correct expiry is approximately 22 January 2027. Status notes updated accordingly.
Verified the AI-regulation status of all 30+ shaded jurisdictions and upgraded every non-EU/US obligation to primary-source standard, with checked dates and confidence flags.
Parliament adopted the simplification package (deferring high-risk obligations to 2 Dec 2027) on 16 Jun 2026. Council adoption and Official-Journal publication are still pending, so the original 2 Aug 2026 dates legally stand until then.
A reform to the Federal Labour Law and Copyright Law requiring consent and remuneration to clone a performer’s voice or image via AI was published in the DOF.
Vietnam’s dedicated horizontal AI law (Law 134/2025/QH15) entered into force, with a risk-tiered regime and AI-content labelling.
