New AI policies and regulations are creating a complex landscape for companies and governments worldwide. Globally, AI adoption is surging, with 78% of organizations now using it in at least one business function In response, governments are establishing comprehensive regulations; the EU's AI Act, for instance, can impose fines of up to €35 million or 7% of global revenue for non-compliance. This regulatory pressure is significant, as a 2024 report indicated 56% of organizations plan to adopt generative AI within the next year.

Despite this growth, the tech landscape faces challenges; in India alone, over 12,700 startups shut down in 2024. Globally, confirmed startup shutdowns on the Carta platform increased by 58% in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the previous year. This wave of consolidation is attracting intense regulatory scrutiny over concerns that it could stifle competition. Antitrust regulators are particularly focused on "Big Tech" acquiring nascent AI competitors, with one major deal, HPE's attempted $14 billion acquisition of Juniper, being blocked in 2024.

Former Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Chair Lina Khan, has been a central figure in this heightened oversight. Under her leadership, the FTC launched inquiries into major AI partnerships, including those between Microsoft and OpenAI, and Amazon and Anthropic. Khan has also warned that AI models trained on non-consensual data could violate antitrust laws. Her aggressive regulatory approach has reportedly caused some companies to abandon acquisition attempts, signalling a significant shift in the environment for AI.In today's rapidly changing technological landscape, staying informed about the latest AI advancements on policy, regulations and compliance is crucial to protect your organization.
