CLE Lunch & Learn: Navigating Utah’s Groundbreaking AI Policy — What Attorneys Need to Know
Join us for an insightful and practical CLE Lunch & Learn on one of the most forward-thinking AI regulatory frameworks in the nation — the Utah Artificial Intelligence Policy Act (UAIPA).
As artificial intelligence continues to reshape industries and legal landscapes, understanding how to responsibly govern its use is more crucial than ever. Utah has taken a leadership role in this effort with the UAIPA, first enacted in March 2024 and further strengthened by 2025 amendments. This legislation sets a national precedent for how AI can be both fostered and regulated at the state level.
This session will break down why this matters for attorneys and their clients, focusing on two key pillars of the law:
The Office of Artificial Intelligence Policy: tasked with shaping future AI legislation, engaging with stakeholders, and leading the innovative AI Learning Laboratory Program.
The Regulatory Sandbox: offering companies a unique opportunity to test AI technologies under formal regulatory flexibility — an important new legal and business tool.
You'll hear directly from Zach Boyd, a key expert in Utah’s AI policy development (see his bio here). Zach will provide a clear overview of the law, its implications, and practical guidance for legal professionals.
After Zach’s presentation, we’ll host an engaging panel Q&A, where Zach and I will be joined by additional panelists to field your questions and discuss real-world applications of the UAIPA.
Don’t miss this opportunity to stay ahead of the curve and equip yourself with critical insights on how AI policy impacts your legal practice. Bring your questions — and your appetite!
