Artificial Intelligence (AI) and AI-Related Legislative Efforts at the United States' Federal and State Levels

To gain a complete understanding of the United States' (US) artificial intelligence (AI) hard law efforts at the federal and state levels, we searched the federal legislature and state legislatures' websites and previous datasets on US AI-related laws for enacted, proposed, or dead bills relating to these areas. Dead bills refer to those laws that did not pass the legislative or regulatory process. These searches were carried out through keyword searches and snowball referencing from other datasets and paper’s mentioning any relevant US AI and AI-related laws or regulations. Once relevant laws and regulations were identified, they were categorized across eight areas: (1) name of law or regulation; (2) government level; (3) jurisdiction or responsible organization; (4) industry or government department captured; (5) status (enacted, proposed, or dead); which actors are captured within the industry/government department; (6) description of the law or regulation; (7) implications of the law/regulation; and (8) a URL to the law or regulations' text. This dataset was last updated December 2023.
