In this edition of Byte Back AI, we provide updates on AI bills in numerous states, including new laws enacted in Arizona, Oklahoma, Montana, and Tennessee, bills passing out of the legislatures in Colorado, Arizona, and South Carolina, and bills crossing chambers in Rhode Island, Texas and South Carolina. We also provide a rundown of what happened with the Colorado AI Act last week prior to the Colorado legislature closing for the year. Our special feature this week is a summary of Montana’s Right to Compute Act. 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.
