In this edition of Byte Back AI, we provide updates on AI bills in numerous states, including numerous bills passing the legislatures in Illinois, Nebraska, Nevada, and Texas, and bills crossing chambers in California, Nevada, and Texas. We also provide a summary of the hearing from New York’s Consumer Protection committee covering S.1228 (requiring advertisements to disclose the use of a synthetic performer). Our special feature this week is a summary of Texas’ SB 1964 (regulating government’s use of AI systems). Finally, we provide readers with our “three things to know this week” and an updated state AI bill tracker chart. As always, the contents provided below are time-sensitive and subject to change.
