AI regulation is moving fast, and it is not waiting for a federal framework. California and New York are taking different approaches. In California, new rules for automated decision-making put compliance responsibility on businesses rather than their vendors. In New York, the RAISE Act set up DIGIT, a new office in the Department of Financial Services that will oversee advanced AI. In the latest episode of The AI Drop, our partners Anna Gressel and Megan Kayo share key takeaways from PLI's first AI governance event, with insights directly from the regulators on the front lines.

The Zillow/Redfin settlement is striking not just for what it bans, but for what it mandates. The FTC is ordering Redfin to rebuild a business it already exited, with penalties if it doesn't. The wider signal matters more: enforcers are now treating exclusivity deals as Clayton Act Section 7 matters, not just Sherman Act Section 1 conduct, so companies can face liability on two fronts, under different standards, even without pre-transaction review. For Law360, our team breaks down the settlement and what businesses should assess before their next competitor agreement.
