Patchwork Statehood
California, Texas, New York, and Colorado have each passed conflicting AI requirements. National operators must reconcile four distinct regimes by Q3.

Shadow AI Liability
New rulings hold employers liable for unsanctioned AI use by employees when company data is exposed. Insurance carriers are tightening cyber-AI riders.
§ 03 / Method
