We’re excited to announce the eleventh installment of our “Tech in the Courts” webinar series, presented by TechFreedom and Washington Legal Foundation. The event is on Wednesday, May 13, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. ET.
The federal government’s approach to AI preemption is undergoing a notable shift, with momentum moving from executive branch actions—such as President Trump’s December executive order—to congressional initiatives like the National AI Legislative Framework. Our panel of experts will discuss the potential implications of this transition and the future of AI governance.
