Federal contractors face different and evolving procurement requirements.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Balancing State and Federal Requirements<\/strong>: Organizations are advised to assess their governance frameworks and internal controls against emerging expectations while monitoring potential federal preemption of state regulations. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Ongoing Conflict between Regulatory Models<\/strong>: The balance between state and federal AI regulatory authority is expected to continue evolving, leading to potential conflicts and ongoing interaction between state and federal regulatory models. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Consultation Available<\/strong>: Morgan Lewis is monitoring these developments and offers counsel on the potential impacts of any proposed state guidance for businesses.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>California Executive Order Expands AI Oversight Through State Procurement https:\/\/www.morganlewis.com\/pubs\/2026\/04\/california-executive-order-expands-ai-oversight-through-state-procurement Publish Date: 2026-04-29 10:42:00 Source&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":207068,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.morganlewis.com\/-\/media\/images\/tiles\/default\/default_publications_largetile.jpg?rev=c8be02dcb36a4a3080336989662bbf51&hash=5CE8FD8B0E21A7DBE6A7C8A57C1212DA","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-207067","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artificial-intelligence"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/207067"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=207067"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/207067\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":207069,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/207067\/revisions\/207069"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/207068"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=207067"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=207067"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=207067"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
