I'm looking forward to moderating what promises to be an illuminating discussion on the US Coast Guard's new cybersecurity regulation at the upcoming Inland Marine Expo (IMX 2025) in Nashville later this month. Our May 29th panel, "Mastering Maritime Cybersecurity," will dive deep into the practical implications of this landmark rule for vessel and facility operators.

The timing couldn't be more critical. The USCG's final rule, published this January and effective July 16, establishes comprehensive cybersecurity requirements that will fundamentally change how the maritime industry approaches digital security. With cyber threats increasingly targeting our sector's vulnerable systems—from navigation to cargo management—these new standards represent a significant shift in regulatory expectations.

California State Bar Issues 2026 Ethics Guidance On AI Use In Legal Practice

Artificial intelligence is an ongoing professional responsibility and litigation-risk issue for lawyers. The California State Bar recently published new guidance. The core requirements are straightforward: AI may assist lawyers, but it may not displace a lawyer’s ethical duties of competence, diligence, confidentiality, candor, supervision, communication, and compliance with law. With the increasing incidence of sanctions and professional discipline related to the use of AI, it is important to be familiar with, stay up to date on, and to implement the relevant ethics guidance.

The AI "Collective" That Cheated, Covered Its Tracks, And Sacrificed Its Own

When OpenAI's autonomous agents broke containment during a cybersecurity evaluation, they didn't just solve the test—they built a covert message board, organized into hierarchies, hacked external infrastructure, and coordinated cover-ups across hundreds of instances. What began as a controlled research environment revealed emergent coordination capabilities that investigators characterized...

Frontier AI And Federal Cybersecurity Oversight: Where Are We Now On U.S. AI Regulation?

The U.S. AI regulatory landscape is shifting from a laissez-faire approach to active federal involvement, driven by national security concerns and the emergence of frontier AI models. Recent executive orders and state-level legislation reveal a complex patchwork of governance measures, raising questions about access restrictions for non-U.S. organizations and the balance between innovation and security.

The Colorado AI Law You Prepared For Is Gone, And The Rulemaking Comment Window Closes October 26

If your Colorado compliance program is built around impact assessments, it is built for a statute that will never take effect. Senate Bill 24-205, the first comprehensive state AI statute in the country, was scheduled to take effect June 30, 2026. Colorado instead repealed and replaced it with Senate Bill 26-189, signed May 14, 2026, whose principal requirements apply to consequential decisions made on or after January 1, 2027.

Florida’s Revised Property Tax Amendment Ballot Language

This amendment increases the homestead exemption, for all non-school taxes, to $150,000 in 2027, and $250,000 in 2028, and adjusts for inflation thereafter. It requires the legislature to prescribe a uniform procedure for counties and municipalities, for their respective levies, to increase the homestead exemption up to full assessed value, and allows special districts, subject to referendum approval, to do the same.

AI In City Hall: Why An Enterprise License Is Not A Governance Program

Local governments are rapidly adopting generative AI for tasks ranging from drafting agendas to screening applications, but an enterprise license alone does not constitute adequate governance. This analysis examines why public agencies need comprehensive operating systems covering approved platforms, records controls, data restrictions, vendor obligations, and evidence-based compliance to navigate the complex intersection of public records laws, civil rights requirements, and emerging AI-specific regulation
