A summary of California laws regulating AI

Send us Fan MailYesterday President Trump announced a $500 billion project (Stargate) that will accelerate the development of AI in the USA.  Coincidentally, the California Attorney General last week issued legal advisories reminding consumers of their rights, and advising businesses and healthcare entities who develop, sell, or use artificial intelligence (AI) about their obligations under California law. Although AI technology is developing rapidly, entities must comply with existing California laws, as well as new laws that went into effect on January 1, 2025. The first legal advisory advises consumers and entities about their rights and obligations under the state’s consumer protection, civil rights, competition, and data privacy laws; the second advisory provides guidance specific to healthcare entities about their obligations under California law. The advisories provide guidance but are not intended to be comprehensive and do not identify all laws that may apply to the development and use of AI.
