As AI technology continues to advance and integrate into daily life, policymakers are stepping up efforts to regulate its development and ensure safe and responsible use. Illinois and California have taken the lead in introducing legislation to combat AI-generated child pornography and protect individuals’ likenesses from nonconsensual use. Meanwhile, the federal government has appointed a chief AI officer to oversee the use of AI across government agencies.
