Summary

This table presents an overview of the recent legislative activity on artificial intelligence within U.S. states during 2024 and 2025. Since comprehensive federal legislation has not yet been adopted, state legislatures have taken the lead and introduced more than 550 bills. These measures address a wide range of issues, including system accountability and safety, algorithmic bias and discrimination, consumer and privacy protection, health and insurance, judicial and law enforcement applications, as well as education and workplace impacts.

The bills are classified here according to their themes, status, and scope. This makes it possible to highlight both the dynamism and the fragmentation of AI governance in the United States. States such as California, New York, and Texas stand out for their extensive activity. Their initiatives often go beyond sectoral concerns and move toward broader governance frameworks. Other states have chosen more targeted interventions, for example by regulating deepfakes, ensuring transparency in training data, or addressing the use of AI in health insurance claims.

Taken together, these initiatives show how state-level experimentation is shaping the American response to AI. In some respects this work complements the federal debate, while in others it creates a patchwork of regulatory approaches. The table allows these developments to be seen in a comparative perspective and provides a basis for analyzing the emerging trends, overlaps, and gaps that characterize the evolving landscape of AI regulation in the United States.
