United States of America: Aligning Incentives for Leadership, Excellence, and Advancement in Development Act (AI LEAD Act/S.2937) including user/subject rights was introduced in Senate

On 29 September 2025, the Aligning Incentives for Leadership, Excellence, and Advancement in Development Act (AI LEAD Act/S.2937) was introduced in the Senate, providing that any contractual provision, terms of service, or conditions of use that purport to waive or limit rights established under the Act, prescribe a forum or procedure inconsistent with statutory protections, or unreasonably limit liability for harm caused by an artificial intelligence system are deemed unconscionable and unenforceable. The prohibition applies both to contracts between developers and deployers and to user-facing terms, ensuring that statutory remedies remain accessible irrespective of contractual language.
