In this edition of Byte Back AI, we provide updates on AI bills in numerous states, including new laws enacted in Arizona and South Carolina, and bills crossing chambers in Alaska, California, Connecticut, Oregon, and New York. We also provide a summary of Connecticut’s Senate floor hearing on SB 2 and our special feature this week is a summary of that bill. 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.
