AI Regulation in the Professional Services Industry
State legislatures across the United States are actively developing artificial intelligence regulations that directly affect Professional Services companies and practitioners. These laws address a wide range of concerns including algorithmic discrimination, automated decision-making, data privacy, consumer transparency, and the use of high-risk AI systems that can materially affect individuals' lives. As of 2026, 2 states have introduced or enacted legislation with direct implications for Professional Services.
Compliance requirements vary significantly by state, making it essential for Professional Services legal and compliance teams to track both enacted laws and pending bills. Key obligations may include conducting algorithmic impact assessments, providing consumer disclosures when AI is used in consequential decisions, implementing risk management programs, and ensuring human-in-the-loop oversight for high-stakes outcomes. Penalties for non-compliance can be substantial — see our Penalty Tracker for details by state.
