Nearly 200 AI-related bills have been introduced nationwide in state legislatures so far in 2023 — a more than four-fold increase compared to 2022.
Legislators in 31 states have introduced at least 191 bills focused on artificial intelligence, per analysis from software industry alliance BSA — but only 14 became law.
Why it matters: The numbers indicate states are beating D.C. in the AI regulation race, with BSA expecting to see a wave of proposed legislation become law in 2024.
