From 2024 to 2026, significant strides were made in AI regulation and safety. In March 2024, the UN adopted a resolution promoting trustworthy AI systems, followed by the AI Seoul Summit in May, which emphasized international collaboration. August 2024 saw the EU's AI Act come into force, setting a global precedent. In September 2025, the Brussels Accord established a binding international framework for AI. December 2025 marked New York's RAISE Act and the Trump administration's national AI policy framework. In early 2026, Anthropic revised its AI safety commitments and pledged $20 million for AI safety advocacy. Democratic candidates highlighted AI policy in their campaigns, and the Axios AI+DC Summit in March 2026 underscored the tension between federal and state AI regulations.
