Pennsylvania is building a multi-pronged approach to AI regulation in its 2025-2026 legislative session, with bills addressing AI disclosures, consumer protection, healthcare automation, algorithmic pricing, AI liability, and workforce impacts. While no comprehensive AI law has been enacted yet, the state's General Assembly has introduced 15 AI-related bills covering a wide range of industries. This guide covers the proposals most likely to affect businesses operating in Pennsylvania.

AI Disclosures and Safeguards: SB 1090 (In Committee)
Senate Bill 1090 is Pennsylvania's leading AI transparency bill. It mandates specific disclosures and safeguards relating to the use of artificial intelligence, and imposes oversight duties on the Attorney General. The bill was referred to Communications & Technology in March 2026 and covers technology, finance, consumer protection, data privacy, legal, and healthcare industries. Organizations deploying AI in Pennsylvania should track this bill closely, as it would establish disclosure requirements comparable to those in California and Colorado.
Key Requirements
- Mandatory disclosures when AI systems are used in consequential decisions
- Established safeguards for AI system deployments
- Attorney General oversight and enforcement authority
AI Regulatory Sandbox: SB 939 (Introduced)
Senate Bill 939 takes a different approach: rather than restricting AI, it establishes the Office of Transformation and Opportunity and creates an AI, Data Center, and Emerging Technology Regulatory Sandbox Program. The sandbox allows companies to test AI innovations under supervised conditions, with specific criteria for participation including innovation and economic impact. The bill also addresses permits for high-impact data centers that generate their own power. It was amended in the Senate Committee on Communications & Technology in February 2026.
Consumer Protection for AI and Chatbots: HB 2175
House Bill 2175 amends Title 12 (Commerce and Trade) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to provide consumer protections specifically for AI and chatbot interactions. It imposes duties on the Bureau of Consumer Protection in the Office of Attorney General and establishes penalties for violations. Companies operating AI-powered customer service or chatbot systems in Pennsylvania should monitor this bill.
Healthcare AI Regulation: HB 1925 and SB 1113
Two companion bills address AI in healthcare and insurance. HB 1925 and SB 1113 both amend Titles 35 and 40 to regulate AI use in health facilities, by insurers, and in MA/CHIP managed care plans. They assign duties to the Department of Health, the Insurance Department, and the Department of Human Services, and impose penalties for non-compliance. Healthcare organizations and insurers operating in Pennsylvania should prepare for these requirements. See our AI in healthcare guide.
AI Liability: HB 1533 (Introduced)
House Bill 1533 amends Title 18 (Crimes and Offenses) to address liability for the deployment of artificial intelligence systems. This bill would establish criminal culpability standards for AI system operators in certain circumstances. While details are limited pending the full bill text, the bill signals Pennsylvania's interest in holding AI deployers accountable for harmful outcomes.
Algorithmic Pricing Transparency: HB 1779 (Introduced)
House Bill 1779 amends Title 12 to require algorithmic pricing transparency and fairness, imposing duties on the Office of Attorney General and Bureau of Consumer Protection. Companies using AI-driven pricing algorithms in Pennsylvania would need to ensure transparency in how prices are set and adjusted. See our algorithmic pricing laws guide.
