121 - The Regulatory Patchwork: How States Are Rewriting AI Rules Without Washington 2026-01-02 As Congress remains gridlocked, U.S. states are racing to implement their own AI and privacy regulations, creating a fragmented landscape that's reshaping how companies operate. From California's transparency mandates to China's mental health protections for AI chatbots, we explore how divergent regulatory approaches are creating fundamentally different human-AI ecosystems. Plus, we examine Hong Kong's AI education initiative, the secure AI market for government missions, and the music industry's new stance on AI-generated content.
