In one paragraph
Maryland's HJ 4 (2024) is a House joint resolution, the Maryland Safe Artificial Intelligence Act, that would have had the General Assembly affirm its commitment to President Biden's vision for safe AI and the principles of the Blueprint for an Artificial Intelligence Bill of Rights, and to examining and implementing those principles in legislation and policies on AI. It does not amend any statute or create legal requirements. After a March 11 hearing notice in House Rules and Executive Nominations it was not adopted, and it died when the session ended.
