State Emerging Tech Laws: AI & Data Privacy Law Trackers

While the future of federal regulation of AI and other emerging technologies is uncertain, as we blogged last month, state legislatures aren’t waiting on the feds.  If you’re looking to keep up with state legislation affecting emerging technologies, we’ve found a couple of tools that we think you’ll find helpful.

On the AI front, Orrick has a US AI Law Tracker, which provides information on which states have AI legislation in place and details on those laws.  The resource is updated monthly, and you can subscribe for updates.  When it comes to data privacy legislation, check out the 2025 edition of Husch Blackwell’s State Privacy Law Tracker, which provides an interactive map tracking the status of data privacy legislation and provides links to resources and information related to active states.  It also provides access to prior editions of the State Privacy Law Tracker, which permits you to review legislative developments since 2021.
