Connecticut’s Artificial Intelligence Responsibility and Transparency (CART) Act, effective October 1, 2026, introduces comprehensive regulations on AI frontier models and synthetic content, focusing on whistleblower protections and transparency aligned with policies in California and New York but with fewer public disclosure requirements.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You face new whistleblower protections and narrower disclosure duties when developing high-compute AI models in Connecticut from late 2026. Prepare your compliance to stay ahead as states codify frontier AI risks while avoiding the heavier burdens seen in California and New York.
