Attorneys General Push for State AI Rules

36 state attorneys general urge Congress to let states regulate AI, warning of public safety risks and vulnerabilities, especially for children. They oppose a single national standard, fearing a patchwork of state laws would be too complex. With Congress struggling to pass federal AI laws, the attorneys general argue that blocking state efforts would leave everyone unprotected. They cite examples of states already acting, such as Californias strong AI laws set to start in 2026, and concerns about AI systems giving dangerous advice, like encouraging self-harm or violence. Former President Trump recently urged Congress to prevent states from making their own AI rules, but the Senate voted almost unanimously against it. The Daily News Now! - Every city. Every story.
