Artificial Intelligence (AI) Legislation
Lawmakers are increasingly addressing AI through legislation
As AI technologies have burst on the scene, state lawmakers have responded by addressing concerns with this ubiquitous technology through public policy. In 2023, we saw less than 200 bills introduced across state legislatures addressing the issue of AI. But that shifted in 2024 when MultiState tracked over 600 AI-related bills with nearly 100 enacted into law.
We expect 2025 to be a big year for AI legislation. Keep an eye on the bills we’re tracking with the state-by-state bill tracking map below. For a comprehensive view of current state laws related to AI, see our state-by-state AI policy overviews.
2024
In 2024, state lawmakers in 45 states introduced 635 AI-related bills. Of those, 99 bills were enacted into law in 2024. Congress debated an additional 107 bills in 2024.
