Listen — 3-minute voice memo

1.The FTC is taking direct aim at AI accuracy claims

What changed The FTC opened public comment on a proposed policy statement about how companies describe AI accuracy, reliability, and fitness for purpose.

Why it matters If your product pages, sales decks, or internal rollout notes imply an AI feature is more reliable, safer, more objective, or more accurate than it really is, that is now a review item.

Action Treat every marketing or rollout claim about AI performance as something that needs evidence behind it before launch.

2.The EU AI Act clock is moving toward August 2, 2026

What changed Major EU AI Act obligations keep phasing in, with general-purpose AI duties approaching August 2, 2026.

Why it matters For most US teams, the practical question is simple: which chatbots, copilots, content generators, or decision-support tools touch EU users, employees, or customers?

Action Identify which of your AI-enabled systems have EU exposure and flag them for AI Act scoping.

3.NIST's AI RMF is becoming the language of security review

What changed NIST's AI Risk Management Framework and generative AI profile are increasingly the vocabulary security and vendor-review teams use.

Why it matters Expect questionnaires and reviews to ask how a system is evaluated, who owns it, what data it uses, and how humans override bad output.

Action Be ready to answer those four questions for each AI system your team runs.

One useful move today: make a one-page AI system inventory — owner, vendor or model, data class, user group, customer exposure, and whether EU users are in scope. That one page will answer half the questions your CISO is about to ask.
