The Most Comprehensive AI Law Tracker in the United States

Why AI Laws by State Exists

AI regulation in the United States is evolving faster than most organizations can track. As of 2026, 2,182 AI-related bills have been published across state legislatures — covering everything from automated hiring decisions and algorithmic discrimination penalties to healthcare AI disclosure and deepfake regulation.

There is no single federal AI law. Instead, companies must navigate a patchwork of state-by-state regulations that vary dramatically in scope, enforcement, and penalty structure. A compliance strategy that works in California may leave you exposed in Colorado. A hiring tool that's lawful in Texas may violate New York City's Local Law 144.

AI Laws by State was built to solve this problem. We aggregate, verify, and organize every AI-related bill from official state legislature records into a single searchable directory — free for anyone to access.
