Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin vetoed a bill that would have offered protections from discrimination created by AI systems.

Vermont Gov. Phil Scott last week squashed a data privacy bill with strong consumer protections, but other states will pick up the mantle.

The protections would require companies to ask for consumers’ consent before accessing and sharing their data, but the governor said it's no more than excessive red tape.

Gov. Jerry Brown said the bill "duplicates what the Department of Technology is already doing."
