The bagel they save for the regulars. Don't skim, savour.
Summary
Despite President Trump's warning against state-level AI regulation, states are increasingly moving forward with their own AI laws. While Congress has stalled on federal AI regulation, state lawmakers are focusing on specific areas such as AI interactions with children, employer use of AI systems, and developer requirements to prevent AI-related catastrophes. Earlier, broader attempts at AI regulation were vetoed or derailed by governors who viewed them as too onerous.
