The Politics of AI: State Leadership and the Path to a Federal Standard

As Washington debates how to establish a federal framework to govern AI, state leaders have stepped into the vacuum. Legislative powerhouses like California, New York, and Illinois have moved from policy laboratories to de facto national regulators testing distinct governance models, establishing crucial precedents, and defining the boundaries of algorithmic accountability.

​This session brings together key policy leaders from Sacramento, Albany, and Springfield to examine how state-level leadership is driving national policy, contrast the distinct legislative strategies emerging from each state, and explore how these pioneering state efforts can inform the establishment of a federal governance framework.
