contents We prove the $Σ^1$-conjecture for two families of Artin groups: Artin groups such that there exists a prime number $p$ dividing $\frac{l(e)}{2}$ for every edge $e$ with even label $>2$ and balanced Artin groups. The family of balanced Artin groups extends two previously studied families: the one considered by Kochloukova in arXiv:2009.14269, and the family of coherent Artin groups. We state a conjecture on the $Σ^2$-invariant for Artin groups satisfying the $K(π,1)$-conjecture. The conjecture is proven to be true for two significant families: $2$-dimensional and coherent Artin groups. In the $2$-dimensional case we are able to compute $Σ^n$ for all $n\geq 2$ and to derive finiteness properties of the derived subgroup.
