Lexology provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of artificial intelligence regulation across the United States, highlighting the significant legislative activity occurring at the state level in the absence of a federal framework. The article underscores that a "patchwork" of laws is emerging as individual states introduce their own bills to govern the development and deployment of AI technologies. This creates a complex compliance environment for companies operating nationwide. 

The analysis points to several common themes in the proposed and enacted state legislation. Many bills focus on algorithmic fairness, requiring companies to conduct impact assessments to identify and mitigate discriminatory outcomes, particularly in high-stakes domains like employment, housing, and credit. Another prevalent trend is the demand for greater transparency, mandating that businesses clearly disclose when individuals are interacting with an AI system and provide explanations for AI-driven decisions. The article advises businesses to proactively track these legislative developments and build flexible, risk-based AI governance programs that can adapt to the varying requirements of different states.
