Episode notes
State-Level Chatbot Regulation Wave
- States are fast-tracking chatbot safety bills: 78 bills across 27 states focusing on disclosure and child protection.
- The common theme is mandatory disclosure so users know they’re talking to an AI, driven by bipartisan concern.

- Prepare for a patchwork compliance burden as states regulate AI differently; expect federal action to standardize rules.
- Treat current state laws as interim requirements that may force unified federal disclosure standards later.
Georgia Sends Three AI Bills To The Governor
- Georgia passed three AI bills to the governor including SB540 (chatbot disclosure), an insurer human-in-loop rule, and a study committee.
- The insurer bill forbids coverage decisions based solely on AI, requiring human involvement in final calls.
