Federal artificial intelligence policy has seen a dizzying array of developments in recent months, from President Joe Biden’s executive order on AI safety signed last fall to Senate Majority Leader Chuck’s Schumer’s framework for AI regulation released this week.  It can be overwhelming for in-house counsel trying to advise the business on the most-pressing twists and turns.
