States of Play: The State AI Legislative Landscape

This has been a dynamic year for companies developing and deploying artificial intelligence.

Over the past year, states across the nation have enacted a wave of AI-specific laws creating a growing and uneven patchwork of obligations. With new requirements continuously phasing in and enforcement priorities still taking shape, staying up to date with recent legislation and regulation can prove challenging. Much of the new state-level legislation falls loosely into categories touching on, among other topics, chatbots, automated decision-making technology, frontier AI models, content provenance, and algorithmic pricing. This presentation will focus on those categories and will highlight regulated activities, enforcement mechanisms, and some best practices for compliance.

You'll leave this session able to:

• Determine which laws apply to which companies, products, and services, and where obligations converge or diverge across states.
• Identify general compliance obligations — from disclosures and safety frameworks to human review and provenance labeling.
• Assess enforcement exposure — from private rights of action to AG-only enforcement, and the potential penalties for violations.
