"Challenges and Opportunities in US AI Policy Landscape"

The patchwork of state laws governing artificial intelligence in the US is causing confusion for businesses, with 30 states and the District of Columbia proposing or adopting new laws placing constraints on AI systems. The lack of direct federal regulation has led to a variety of state-specific legislation targeting issues such as data transparency, reducing bias, and protecting consumers from AI-generated decisions. While these laws reflect federal priorities, their subtle differences make compliance challenging for businesses, with some states requiring risk assessments and others enacting opt-out provisions.
