Crowdfund Insider discusses new US legislative proposals, including the CLARITY Act and GENIUS Acts.
The Story
These acts reflect ongoing regulatory debates in Washington regarding digital assets and AI.
Why It Matters
The US is debating acts like CLARITY and GENIUS for AI and digital assets. This shows global regulatory fragmentation, not a unified approach. For European SMBs, especially in pharma or legal, this means the EU AI Act by August 2026 is your primary concern. Do not assume US approaches will align or simplify your compliance here.
What To Do About It
Stop waiting for global AI rules to align. Your immediate action is to audit your internal AI use against EU AI Act requirements. I'd start by reviewing Copilot functionality within Microsoft 365 and isolating any sensitive data processing to private cloud environments. This ensures data sovereignty before August 2026.
