The AI and Data-Center Build-Out: US Litigation and Policy Outlook: BI Replay

The US AI infrastructure boom is colliding with a rapidly changing legal and policy landscape. State lawmakers introduced hundreds of bills in 2026 through mid-July, more than the prior three years combined, with proposed restrictions ranging from full-scale moratoriums to environmental rules that could delay or cancel projects. At the same time, federal and state authorities are working to craft guardrails for AI, potentially shaping the limits that will guide the industry going forward. Join Justin Teresi, Nathan Dean, Matthew Schettenhelm, Holly Froum, and Andrew Silverman of Bloomberg Intelligence for a timely examination of the litigation and policy risks surrounding the AI and data-center build-out. The panel will assess the implications of the US midterm elections, accelerating state and local legislation, evolving AI regulation, tax-policy changes and emerging litigation for technology companies, utilities, developers and investors.
