While the number of state AI bills introduced this year has jumped, experts said AI hasn't entirely crowded out important discussions about data privacy.

A large group of state attorneys general said a proposed moratorium on state AI laws would be "sweeping and wholly destructive."

State government and privacy advocacy groups said they're concerned by legislation that would preempt state enforcement of AI laws until 2035.

State governments are forming new laws and policies that set "guardrails" to limit AI's potential harms. But officials know their reach is limited.
