How We Calculate Risk Scores

30%

Bill Volume

Number of AI-related bills introduced, normalized against the most active state.

25%

Enacted Laws

Number of bills signed into law, the strongest indicator of active regulation.

20%

Bill Momentum

Bills advancing through committee or passing chambers as a percentage of total.

15%

Topic Breadth

Number of distinct regulatory areas covered, from hiring to healthcare to deepfakes.

10%

Enforcement Signals

Proportion of high-risk bills with enforcement mechanisms or penalties.

Scores are recalculated daily. Each factor is normalized to 0-100 relative to the highest-scoring state in that category, then combined using the weights above. States with no AI legislation score 0.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the AI Regulation Risk Score?

The AI Regulation Risk Score is a composite metric from 0-100 that measures the regulatory burden a state places on companies using AI. It considers bill volume, enacted laws, legislative momentum, topic breadth, and enforcement signals.

How is the risk score calculated?

The score uses five weighted factors: bill volume (30%), enacted laws (25%), bill momentum (20%), topic breadth (15%), and enforcement signals (10%). Each factor is normalized relative to the highest-scoring state.

How often are the risk scores updated?

Risk scores are recalculated daily based on the latest bill data in our database, which tracks AI legislation across all 50 US states and federal bills.

What does a high risk score mean for my business?

A high risk score (80-100) indicates the state has significant AI legislation activity, including enacted laws, pending bills, and enforcement mechanisms. Companies operating in high-risk states should prioritize compliance review.
