Illinois Governor JB Pritzker recently signed HB 3773 into law, amending the Illinois Human Rights Act to regulate the use of artificial intelligence in employment practices. Amendments to the Act, which were enacted August 9, 2024, but do not take effect until January 1, 2026, prohibit the use of #AI in a manner that results in illegal discrimination in employment decisions. Partners Rich Harper and Scott Nelson and associate Claire Mahoney share their thoughts: https://okt.to/PNf2GX

Agencies carving out their own niches in regulating connected cars is the latest example of the broader ongoing fight for control over privacy and security regulations, said Matthew Baker, who leads the privacy and cybersecurity practice at Baker Botts. With agency power now under a microscope after Loper Bright, piecemeal regulations to emerging issues may become the standard way forward. “We’re already seeing it, right?” Matthew told Bloomberg Law. “With the FCC and the Department of Commerce leaning on their current statutory authority to enact rulemaking within their authority, and that’s why you’re going to see the patchwork that’s occurring around it.”
