3 ways states are regulating AI
According to the description, PBS News' Tim McPhillips speaks with Will Clark of the National Conference of State Legislatures about how states regulate AI as federal rules stall, covering frontier models, health care, chatbots and children, elections, and the limits of a patchwork of state laws.
Why it matters
The same thing, for different readers.
What it means for you
PBS NewsHour cites an AP-NORC poll in which nearly two thirds of Americans say AI development is happening too fast; states are acting on health care, chatbots and elections.
For lawmakers
With federal regulation stalled, Republican and Democratic-led states are writing their own AI laws, and the segment discusses the limits of that patchwork.
