Desouza, Kevin C. “Analyzing the Passage of State-Level AI Bills.” Brookings, 14 Jan. 2026, www.brookings.edu/articles/analyzing-the-passage-of-state-level-ai-bills/.
Summary: This article examines how legislation at State level governments are passing or rejecting AI bill proposals based on a multitude of considered factors; representative and State community political leanings, business sector regulation, clashing ideology between state institutions, as a few noteworthy examples. The results of the study indicate that richer and more educated states have more failures in AI regulation bills passing mainly because of legislative congestion, (there are more bills being proposed than ability to consider and pass them) While States with stronger business networking and less poverty have fewer failed AI bill proposals.
Why this is important: This kind of data is important to analyze because AI regulation is a proposed solution many are considering for some of the problems caused by AI usage or proliferation, having an understanding of what State governments are currently doing about AI and why gives a more nuanced perspective on what is being considered more in regulation and where.
