AI Policy Is Changing: What Government Agencies and Contractors Need to Know
Artificial intelligence policy is changing rapidly at the international, federal, and state levels — and those changes are beginning to directly affect how government agencies adopt AI and how government contractors develop, sell, and deliver AI-enabled solutions.
This webinar will examine the evolving AI policy landscape and translate recent developments into practical implications for the public sector.
AI Policy Is Changing: What Government Agencies and Contractors Need to Know
Date: Tuesday, September 15, 2026
Time: 1:00 PM Eastern / 10:00 AM Pacific
Internationally, governments are establishing new requirements around AI transparency, safety, data use, and accountability. These policies can affect U.S. companies that operate globally or provide AI products and services to international customers.
At the federal level, agencies are developing new policies, standards, and oversight mechanisms governing how AI is acquired, tested, deployed, secured, and monitored. These changes are influencing procurement requirements and creating new expectations for contractors supporting federal AI programs.
At the state level, legislatures and regulators are increasingly establishing their own AI rules covering areas such as automated decision-making, privacy, transparency, safety, and government use of AI. The result is a growing patchwork of requirements that companies operating across multiple jurisdictions will need to understand.
For government agencies, these developments will influence how AI can be acquired and used.
For government contractors, they will influence how AI solutions must be designed, documented, secured, marketed, and delivered to government customers.

- Where AI policies are aligned — and where different governments are taking different approaches
- How new policies could affect government acquisition and deployment of AI
- What agencies may begin requiring from AI vendors and technology partners
- How contractors should prepare for emerging requirements involving security, testing, transparency, human oversight, data governance, and AI risk management
- Where new AI policies could create both compliance challenges and business opportunities
- What government and industry leaders should be watching over the next 6–12 months
