Recently, we hosted an intimate dinner in Los Angeles with a group of general counsels and senior executive leaders to discuss the evolving challenges posed by artificial intelligence (AI), data privacy and cybersecurity, particularly as they relate to HR and production environments. The roundtable discussion was dynamic and insightful, reflecting the real-world risks and strategic considerations that organizations are currently navigating.
On June 2, 2026, President Trump signed an executive order, ‘Promoting Advanced Artificial Intelligence Innovation and Security – The White House‘, providing federal government hardening of cybersecurity defenses against AI and prioritizing enforcing existing cybercrimes laws, as well as directing a multiagency effort to develop a voluntary program for covered frontier models to be assessed prerelease for cyber risk to critical infrastructure. This light touch security-focused approach is consistent with the federal government’s ongoing prioritization of innovation over regulation, but with a new focus on critical security risk.
Our team has captured key themes and concerns raised by legal thought leaders during our discussions and offers practical perspectives on how companies can prepare for and respond to this rapidly developing landscape in What GCs Should Consider for US AI Deployment in 2026.
Squire Patton Boggs will continue to monitor and report on federal and state regulatory efforts.
